VERSE 01: Where the temple bells tinkled out the languid hours,/Towsee Towsee Mongalay/In a Yangtsee garden redolent with lotus flow'rs,/Towsee Towsee Mongalay/There my little China sweethear/in my ear would softly coo:/You no savee how me lovee,/how me lovee, lovee you./When I'd tell her I could never leaver her even for a day,/First she'd sigh and then she'd smile at me and say:VERSE 02: OH, the ship was in the harbor and the sun was on the sea,/Towsee, Towsee Mongalay/when my little China sweetheart gave her parting kiss to me,/Towsee, Towsee Mongalay/And in her eyes reflecting all the sunshine of the sky:/"Towsee, Towsee Mongalay" said she, "Good luck, goodbye, good luck, goodbye"/To my dreams her radiant beauty still a fragrant mem'ry brings/And turns the world all gold when she sings:
