From every kind of man Obedience I expect; I'm the Emperor of Japan—

And I'm his daughter-in-law elect! He'll marry his son (He's only got one) To his daughter-in-law elect.

My morals have been declared Particularly correct;

But they're nothing at all, compared With those of his daughter-in-law elect! Bow— Bow— To his daughter-in-law elect!

Bow— Bow— To his daughter-in-law elect.

In a fatherly kind of way I govern each tribe and sect, All cheerfully own my sway—

Except his daughter-in-law elect! As tough as a bone, With a will of her own. Is his daughter-in-law elect!

My nature is love and light— My freedom from all defect—

Is insignificant quite, Compared with his daughter-in-law elect! Bow— Bow— To his daughter-in-law elect!

Bow— Bow— To his daughter-in-law elect!
