Been a long time since I been back to Osaka
Back to the land of the Rising Sun
Back to the time when I woke up
Drunk on a junk
In the middle of the ocean
Strapped to a bunk and I thunk
Well, what the hell have I done?
Well I tell you boy, I never was a drinkin' fella
'Less you count whisky, 'less you count rum
I remember talkin' smack and makin' bets with a sailor
And I woke up you-know-where
So I don't think I won
Oh, say sayonara baby
Oh, just say goodbye
Spent a long time in the galley
Scrubbin' pots and pans
Dishin' lots of grub
On a six-week trip on a ship
Knew I was gonna flip
If I didn't get a girlie
Wore my wang-dang-doodle right down to the nub!
Rode the big wind into the city
Made myself a friend
Name o' Wing Chang Chung
Said 'Joe don't you know we can go
Get a zinger from a singer name o' Madame Butterfinger'
When I tried to swing that thing
Goddamn did I get swung!
Oh, say sayonara baby
Oh, just say goodbye
Rocky sake sunrise with my woman
She got extra tackle
Baby I'm in love
Well my floozy pulled a doozie made me woozy
See my Sukiyaki Susy was a big Yakuza's coozie
And I woke up choked by the oak
By a white Yakuza glove!
That's how I lost my balls in Osaka
Like I lost my hand to the King of Zaire
Like I lost my teeth in a beef
With a chief on a reef
But that's another story
If you wanna hear that one son
Then buy me one more beer!
Oh, say sayonara baby
Oh, just say goodbye
