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!
