a 1930's jazzy tune..
lyrics:
There’s a dainty little oriental babe
She lives ‘way down in Tokyo
She is just as cute as any maid could be
And her eyes with love-light glow (glow glow)
But her love is fighting far away

[pre-chorus]
Beneath the flag of old Japan

[iInstrumental break}

[Bedroom Chorus]
Her heart forlorn with fear is torn
And she sings this haunting day
In such a fascinating captivating way

[coquettish hook]
My heart is with you soldier lad
I dream of you all day
O soldier boy I love you so

[bedroom chorus]
My heart shall never stray
As long as stars in heaven shine
As long as skies are blue
Whatever betide I’ll be your little bride
For I’m waiting soldier love for you

[dark verse]
But she little knows that beneath Russian snows
Her soldier lad is laid away
Mid the shot and shell in the raging fight he fell
As he joined the deadly fray

[coquettish hook]
My heart is with you soldier lad
I dream of you all day
O soldier boy I love you so

[dark verse]
Every day she sighs and looks with longing eyes
O soldier lad come back to me
Her friends know well but never tell
And they hear her sing this lay
In such a fascinating captivating way
