Subject: RE: Lyr Add: When the Ice is on the Rice
SONG OF R AND R
(Tune- Moonlight on the Wabash)

When the ice is on the rice in old Ohitose [?]
And the Saki is the cellar starts to freeze
I don't want to see my wife in San Francisco
I just want to see my little Nipponese

ICE ON THE RICE

When he ice is on the rice in old Tsuiki
And the saki in the cellar starts to freeze
When you turn to her and say, "My darling dozo"
Then you're turning just a skoshi Nipponese


Both from an Untitled Songbook. [ca 1970]. Pgs. 9-a and 79
