Loading...

[d~ck, spoken]
well, you see, i’ve written this sort of… musical tragedy, inspired by a buddy of mine. it all takes place in the squalid native quarter of
downtown singapore. a lost, heart~broken sailor plaintively calls for his missing sweetheart. i can see it now, as if it were happening on this very stage…

(sung)
where are you—

[lucky]
—my oriental pearl?
where are you, my lovely china girl?
ever since the night you vanished in the malay evenin’
there’s no beauty in this lonely world
so sweet and soft and gentlе
my favorite oriental
the nicеst girl ashore is singapore sue
of all the chinese lasses
the only one that passes
with such a perfect score is singapore sue

while walkin’ down by the harbor i was lost and sunk
until she winked and begged me to inspect her junk
though it was damp and rotten
i never have forgotten
her hand in mine upon the prow
i still can feel its softness now
i adore singapore sue!

[d~ck, spoken]
then lucky learns to his horror that singapore sue has been shanghai~ed! she has been forced to become… a lotus blossom
girl, in that notorious den of drugs, gambling and… yes
madame sin~sin’s! aided by her lascivious henchman, dung wong, madame sin~sin nightly lures unwary bluejackets to their untimely doom

(sung)
where is my sue—

[lucky]
—so sweet and dear?
in the smoke of this den
she’s forever lost, i fear
[madame sin~sin & dung wong]
in every town and valley
from peking down to bali
the boys go simply nuts for singapore sue

[lucky]
oh no!
and i never will again find contentment when she’s near
there are too many men who have made her insincere

[madame sin~sin & dung wong]
she causes lots of scandal
when she removes her sandal
for men galore who go for singapore sue

[sue]
i find it easy as pie to capture any man
i do it with a gesture of my dainty fan
oh, lucky!

[lucky]
where did my love~life disappear?

[madame sin~sin & dung wong]
just follow her, she’ll show you
a paradise, i know you
[lucky]
in this black hole of sin
it is more than crystal clear

[madame sin~sin & dung wong]
will find that sue will satisfy
so much that ’til the day you die

[lucky]
the sue i wanted for my bride is not here
the sue i wanted for my bride is not here

[madame sin~sin & dung wong]
you’ll adore singapore sue
you’ll adore singapore sue

[d~ck, spoken]
but sue can’t go through with it. her love for lucky is too strong. then madame sin~sin seizes sue, and throws her into the arms of the idol, who strangles her

[lucky]
i’ll show ya all st. louis
and you can fix chop suey—

[sue dies.]

oh no! this dream is nevermore!
since angels high on heaven’s shore
all adore singapore sue
