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
Bb     Ab  F      Bb   Eb
  Oh no... not Tokyo Joe

Way past midnight - she not home
She cut the ice down the Danger Zone
Watertight dresses - she don't care
A trifle risqu, a tart, no sir...
Oh no... sounds like Tokyo Joe

Geisha girl show you she adore you
 Db    Gb     Eb     Ab
Two oriental eyes implore you
  Eb              Ab
Femme fatal or ingenue?
 Db        Gb        Eb      Ab
She very cunning, fiendish clever
 Db           Gb    Eb    Ab     Eb
Geisha girl suffer many times a fool

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' our telexes to Tupelo
Dear John, doh ra me fah so?
Let's go... call for Tokyo Joe

Walkin' tall down the Danger Zone
She hokey-kokey 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 me tell no lie'
GI boys howlin' out for more
VIP'S purrin' 'je t'adore'...
Ah so... that's Tokyo Joe
