Nagasaki
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hot ginger and dynamite
There's nothing but that at night
Back in nagasaki
Where the fellers chew tobaccy
And the women wicky-wacky
Woo.
The way they can entertain
Would hurry a hurricane
Back in nagasaki
Where the fellers chew tobaccy
And the women wicky wacky
Woo.
In fujiama
You get a mama
Then your troubles increase.
In a pagoda
She orders soda
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da. guarantees
They kissy and huggy nice
By jingo! i'ts worth the price.
Back in nagasaki
Where the fellers chew tobaccy
And the women wicky-wacky
Woo.
(orchestral interlude)
They give you a carriage free
The horse is a japanee
Back in nagasaki
Where the fellers chew tobaccy
And the women wicky-wacky
Woo.
They sit you on the floor
And splinter you galore
Back in nagasaki
Where the fellers chew tobaccy
And the women wicky-wacky
Woo.
With sweet kimono
I tried to phone 'er
And found the number engaged
In a pagoda
She orders soda
Ba-da-da-da-da-da. guaranteed.
You just have to act your age
Or wind up inside a cage
Back in nagasaki
Where the fellers chew tobaccy
And the women wicky-wacky
Woo.
(gonella ad libs for one line)
In a pagoda
She orders soda
Ba-da-da-da-da-da. guaranteed.
When the girls ju jitsu
Seems like a bus hit you
Back in nagasaki
Where the fellers chew tobaccy
And the women wicky-wacky
Woo.
Back in nagasaki
Where the fellers chew tobaccy
And the women wicky-wacky
Woo.
