Snappy Happy Jappy Chappy

(S. Walker)
Give me sushi, by the tonne
Like my kabuki, on the run
That pachinko, that's lots of fun
I drive a lotus, cherry blossom

And I watch the sumo when I can
I buy a golf course if I get the yen
I'm a snappy happy Jappy chappy off the bend
And I got a lot of fingerless friends - YAKUZA
(Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da). SO!

I drink saki, all the time
Don't like my haiku, verse to rhyme
Ole Mt Fuji, one day I'll climb
Then I'll be like Bhudda, so sublime

The Emperor is my favourite guy
That shinkansen can really fly
At department stores I buy buy buy
I'm a double breasted shopping samurai
WHAT A FEELING! SO!

The word "Tsunami", means surfs up
I get a geisha to fill my cup
Bribery scandals sometimes erupt
But I'm always mellow never abrupt

And there ain't a toaster we can't make
We get to work early and we stay back late
Pretty soon we're gonna have a big earthquake
But no worries baby she'll be Jake - BANZAI! So!
