tokyo joe

my girl friday

she no square

she like lotus blossom in her hair

be-bop records and something new

sometimes borrowed

but she's never blue

oh no.not tokyo joe

way past midnight

she not home

she cut the ice down the danger zone

water-tight dresses

she don't care

a trifle risque

a tart

no sir. oh no.sounds like tokyo joe

geisha girl show you she adore you

two oriental eyes implore you

femme fatale or ingenue?

she very cunning

fiendish clever

geisha girl suffer many times a fool

sayonara moon

when all the world's a stage

oh where are you?

tokyo rose on the radio

or diz 'n bird puttin' on the moan

tappin' out telexes to tupelo

dear john

doh ray me fah so?

let's go.call for tokyo joe

walkin' tall down the danger zone

she hokey-cokey till the cows come home

big shot

from the hip

neon cool

say

when you've been around

what's left to do?

don't know? ask tokyo joe

so inscrutable her reply

ask no question and tell me no lie"
