Said Mr. Japanese to Mrs. Japanese,

As he and she had a talk,

On a pleasant summer day,

“Shall I get a rik-i-shay?

Or would you like to take a little walk?”

Said Mrs. Japanese to Mr. Japanese,—Ah, she was a clever soul!—“If I can have my way,You’ll not get a rik-i-shay,But with the children take a quiet stroll.”

“If I can have my way,

You’ll not get a rik-i-shay,

But with the children take a quiet stroll.”

So Mr. Japanese and Mrs. Japanese

And the little Japaneses too,

Set out in Indian-file,

In the very latest style,

With their eyes and mouths prodigiously askew.

Through gardens trim and neat, to smell the blossoms sweetThey go, and over fences climb,And when their walk is done,They cry out, every one,“We’ve had a lovely Japan-easy time!”

Through gardens trim and neat, to smell the blossoms sweet

They go, and over fences climb,

And when their walk is done,

They cry out, every one,

“We’ve had a lovely Japan-easy time!”
