Subject: RE: Lyr Add: When the Ice is on the Rice
R & R BLUES
(Sung to “Banks of the Wabash”)

When the ice is on the rice in southern Honshu
And the Saki in the cellar starts to freeze
And you whisper to your Josan, I adore you
then you’re getting just a skoshi Nipponese

When the Colonel misses muster in the morning
And the Major gets the officers disease
And the pilots are all medically restricted
then you’re getting just a skoshi Nipponese.


Melodies from VMA 251 K-6 Korea. PDF reissue [1950s].
