Half-Caste Woman Noël Coward

(Verse)
Laugh a bit, drink a bit, love a bit more
You can supply our need
Chaff a bit, think a bit, what's it all for?
That's your Eurasian creed

Sailors with sentimental hearts
Who love and sail away
When the dawn is gray
Look at you and say

(Chorus)
Half-caste woman, living a life apart
Where did your story begin?
Half-caste woman, have you a secret heart
Waiting for someone to win?

Were you born of some queer magic
In your shimmering gown?
Is there something strange and tragic
Deep, deep down?

Half-caste woman, what are your slanting eyes
Waiting and hoping to see?
Scanning the far horizon
Wondering what the end will be
