Bertie Higgins Tokyo Joe song lyrics

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...
