DUET. — Mikado and Katisha.
Mik.From every kind of man
Obedience I expect;
I'm the Emperor of Japan—
Kat.And I'm his daughter-in-law elect!
He'll marry his son
(He's only got one)
To his daughter-in-law elect.
Mik.My morals have been declared
Particularly correct;
Kat.But they're nothing at all, compared
With those of his daughter-in-law elect!
Bow— Bow—
To his daughter-in-law elect!
All.Bow— Bow—
To his daughter-in-law elect.
Mik.In a fatherly kind of way
I govern each tribe and sect,
All cheerfully own my sway—
Kat.Except his daughter-in-law elect!
As tough as a bone,
With a will of her own.
Is his daughter-in-law elect!
Mik.My nature is love and light—
My freedom from all defect—
Kat.Is insignificant quite,
Compared with his daughter-in-law elect!
Bow— Bow—
To his daughter-in-law elect!
All.Bow— Bow—
To his daughter-in-law elect!
