Made in Japan Songtext

von John Entwistle

I went down to my tailor to get myself a suit made to measure
It's been a long, long time since I looked like a gentlemen of leisure
He spent an awful lot of time on my inside leg
You don't get that kind of treatment when you buy stuff off the peg
When I finally picked it up and saw the label inside
I saw a sight that made my mouth gape open wide

It said "Made in Japan"
Made in Japan
There ain't nothing made here in this country anymore
It's either made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore
Made in Japan

I went along to the showroom to buy myself a secondhand car
I didn't have much money so I knew I wouldn't get very far
The salesman said, "How much do intend to spend?
You only get what you pay for in the end"
He said, "You can't afford a Bentley or a Cadillac
But take a look at this motor I've got out the back"

It was made in Japan
Made in Japan
There ain't nothing made here in this country anymore
It's either made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore
Made in Japan

Me and my girl last week we went to church and got wed
I didn't buy the car so I decided I'd get married instead
We went to Miami for the honeymoon
I couldn't wait to get her in the hotel room
But when she came out of the bathroom, my knees turned to jelly
When I saw what she had tattooed just below her belly

It said "Made in Japan"
Made in Japan
There ain't nothing made here in this country anymore
It's either made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore
Made in Japan

Made in Japan
Made in Japan
Made in Japan
Made in Japan

(Dinner is served, sir)
