Oriental Lady

Holy Modal Rounders


Oh, my oriental lady 
You're as pretty as it's possible to be 
Looking in your eyes, I find pardise 
Smiling bright and shiny smiles at me. 

Once I lived alone and liked it. 
I was happy but my life was incomplete. 
Then your heart so true 
Told me what to do. 
Now all of our bitterness is sweet. 

Oh, my oriental lady 
One good half is all that anyone can be. 
Standing soul to soul 
We can make a whole 
And begin to be what we should be.
