I'm down and out here in Tokyo Everybody's talking in Nihon-go I'm lonely, got the Nihon blues Running fast and trying to get rich quick Eating little bitty things with little bitty sticks I'm hungry, got the Nihon blues. In my southern drawl y'all just talking to myself Can't find no honkytonk, shouchu and sake is all I've got left My bicycle's lost down in Shinjuku I left the restaurant wearing somebody else's shoes I'm so confused, got the Nihon blues I eat my catfish good and dead not wiggling on my plate Give me chicken Dixie fried, yakatori on a stick, oh I can wait Down and out here in Tokyo Everybody's talking in Nihon-go I'm lonely, got the Nihon blues
