I was dreaming of Tokyo again With a pocket full of yen to spin Sipping sake all alone I had a table for one Suddenly it was you and me Left me half in tears It's the august moon In the land of the rising sun You called me Tokyo Joe, oh, oh You were my rose in Tokyo I still love you so, oh Arso, did you misunderstand Saying sayonara may you cry That's not what I meant when I said goodbye How could I forget the love which you & I Made in Japan From the orient to 'temply' bay You know it's half a world away you daddy & mama suffered Said you could not go So this American boy sailed on home Left his Japanese girl alone My heart stayed there with you in Tokyo
