Tokyo Joe Songtext

von Bertie Higgins

Dreaming of Tokyo again
With a pocket full of yen to spend
Sipping sake 'all alone
At a table for one
Suddenly it was you and me
Laughing and having tea'
Neath the August moon
In the land of the rising sun

You called me Tokyo Joe, oh, oh, oh
You were my rose of Tokyo
I still love you so, oh, ah, so
Did you misunderstand
Saying sayonara made you cry
That's not what I meant when I said goodbye How could I forget the love that you and I
Made in Japan

From the Orient to Tampa Bay
You know is half a world away
Your Daddy and Mama-san
Said you could not go
So, this American boy sailed on home
Left his Japanese girl alone
But my heart stayed there
With you in Tokyo

You called me Tokyo Joe, oh, oh, oh
You were my rose of Tokyo
I still love you so, oh, ah, so
Did you misunderstand
Saying sayonara made you cry
That's not what I meant when I said goodbye How could I forget the love that you and I
Made in Japan

You called me Tokyo Joe, oh, oh, oh
You were my rose of Tokyo
I still love you so, oh, ah, so
Did you misunderstand
Saying sayonara made you cry
That's not what I meant when I said goodbye How could I forget the love that you and I
Made in Japan

You called me Tokyo Joe, oh, oh, oh
You were my rose of Tokyo
I still love you so, oh, ah, so
Did you misunderstand...
