Tokyo Joe Lyrics

    (ferry)

    My girl friday she no square
    She like lotus blossom in her hair
    Be-bop records and something new
    Sometimes borrowed but she´s never blue
    Oh no........not tokyo joe
    Way past midnight - she not home
    She cut the ice down the danger zone
    Water-tight dresses - she don´t care
    A trifle risqué, a tart, no sir........
    Oh no........sounds like tokyo joe
    Geisha girl show you she adore you
    Two oriental eyes implore you
    Femme fatale or ingenue?
    She very cunning, fiendish clever
    Geisha girl suffer many times a fool
    Sayonara moon
    When all the world´s a stage, oh where are you?
    Tokyo rose on the radio
    Or diz ´n bird puttin´ on the moan
    Tappin´ out telexes to tupelo
    Dear john, doh ray me fah so?
    Let´s go........call for tokyo joe
    Walkin´ tall down the danger zone
    She hokey-cokey till the cows come home
    Big shot - from the hip - neon cool
    Say, when you´ve been around, what´s left to do?
    Don´t know? ask tokyo joe
    So inscrutable her reply
    "ask no question and tell me no lie"
    Gi boys howlin´ out for more
    Vip´s purrin´ "je t´adore"........
    Ah so........that´s tokyo joe
