Yellow Peril |
| Hunting in the Sea of Japan |
| Ambrose left the tourist trail behind him |
| So bold with his gun in his hand |
| Of his furs there was no need to remind him |
| Tripping over a Holy Man |
| Mind that here you don’t choose your friends |
| Ambrose asked for a helping hand |
| He heaved his chest, and pointed West |
| To where the river runs |
| With Josie back home on his mind |
| Brushing off the fruit flies of the season |
| And 'Brosie was surely struck blind |
| By a sight that defies human reason: |
| On an island of gleaming rock |
| Jutting up from the blue lagoon |
| A ceremonial music box |
| And from it flowed, a bright new mode |
| That made our hero swoon |
| A finer minor from China |
| The World when the traveler returned |
| As you know played out its bloody romances |
| But Ambrose he knew what he’d learned |
| With his prize in hand he took his chances |
| Soon the sound that delights the ear |
| Blended in with the armies' roar |
| When the warriors strained to hear |
| This new bebop, this shooting star |
| Their guns were bullet-full |
| A finer minor from China |
| A finer minor from China |
| A finer minor from China |
