I ain’t never read the Wall Street Journal
I ain’t no PH.D
The Trickle Down theory and the Laffer Curve
Are just Greek to me
I’m ignorant about inflation
And the Federal Reserve T-note
I ain’t never had a lesson in the Great Depression
But, this much I know
We’re all working for the Japanese
Little cars and color TV’s
Sending all our money overseas
To the Eastern ‘sphere
One day we’re gonna lose our roots
Wear Oriental jeans and boots
And, drink nothing, but Kawasaki saki, Honda wine, and Mitsubishi light beer
Chrysler fights for survival
So does General Motors
Ford perseveres with better ideas
And, everybody drives Toyotas
Sony owns the Rockefeller Center
And, the Hawaiian archipelago
We buy Seiko’s, walkman’s, TV’s, and minivans
And, wonder where the money all goes
Just working for the Japanese
Little cars and color TV’s
Sending all our money overseas
To the Eastern ‘sphere
One day we’re gonna lose our roots
Wear Oriental jeans and boots
And, drink nothing, but Kawasaki saki, Honda wine, and Mitsubishi light beer
I’m gonna gather up all my dollars
Trade ‘em in for Yen
Get up and go to Tokyo
Start over again
Gonna change my name to Yamada
Marry me a geisha wife
And, eat nutritious dishes like little raw fishes
And, be happy for the rest of my life
While you’re a-workin’ for the Japanese
Little cars and color TV’s
Sending all your money overseas
To the Eastern ‘sphere
One day you’re gonna roose your loots, (Asian dialect intended)
Where Oriental jeans and boots
And, drink nothing but Kawasaki saki, Honda wine, and Mitsubishi right beer. (Asian dialect intended)
You’re gonna love that
Kawasaki saki, Honda wine, and Mitsubishi light beer
Ah-so!
