Hai Sai Oji-san / Hey Man!

Richard Thompson


Hey, man! Hey, man ! 
If there's a drop of sake left in last night's little bottle 
Won't you give me some? 
Hey, boy! Hey, boy! 
You think I'm satisfied with a little bottle? 
Don't say there's none left! 
Ok, man! If the little bottle's not enough, give me a big one 

Hi, man! Hi, man! 
I wanna marry, I'm not a kid anymore 
Can I marry your daughter? 
Hey, boy! Hey boy! 
Marry? No kidding! 
You're still too young to talk about such things 
Ok, man! I'll wait till my hair turns white 

Hi, man! Hi, man! 
What a big bald spot you have! 
Hey, boy! Hey, boy! 
Bald men are excellent 
My forefathers were really excellent 
Ok, man! I'm gonna have cosmetic surgery to add bald spots 

Hi, man! Hi, man! 
Your beard is funny, like the whiskers of an attic mouse 
Hey, boy! Hey, boy ! 
Laugh at my beard, but women love bearded men 
Ok, man! I don't wanna be outdone by you, 
Starting tomorrow, I'll grow a beard that looks like the whiskers of a mouse 

Hi, man! hi, man! 
Last night's hooker was really pretty, you should go there, too 
Hey, boy! Hey, boy ! 
In Chiji, Nakajima and Watanji,* I'm a big shot 
Okay, man! Going around here and there, I'm wasting my money 
You're wasting your money
