Lyrics

Big In Japan

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.

I got the style but not the grace

I got the clothes but not the face

I got the bread but not the butter

I got the wind but not the shutter

But I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan, heh but I'm big in Japan

I'm big in Japan

I got the house but not the deed

I got the horn but not the reed

I got the cards but not the luck

I got the wheel but not the truck

But heh I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan, but hey I'm big in Japan

I'm big in Japan

I got the moon I got the cheese

I got the whole damn nation on their knees

I got the rooster I got the crow

I got the ebb I got the flow

I got the powder but not the gun

I got the dog but not the bun

I got the clouds but not the sky

I got the stripes but not the tie

But heh I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

Heh ho they love the way I do it

Heh ho there's really nothing to it

I got the moon I got the cheese

I got the whole damn nation on their knees

I got the rooster I got the crow

I got the ebb I got the flow

I got the sizzle but not the steak

I got the boat but not the lake

I got the sheets but not the bed

I got the jam but not the bread

But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan

But hey I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
