歌手: Van Dyke Parks
时长: 04:46
In sight of the lights of Roppongi[00:00:20]
The night life of To ki yo goes[00:00:22]
And out on the street with a beat from Tahiti a neon moon lollipop glows[00:00:25]
A Four ships have sailed the ocean to the bay[00:00:34]
A chop on the water o'er waves of gray[00:00:39]
The Commodore a notion in the spray[00:00:42]
Where in emotion[00:00:44]
We hear him say[00:00:46]
Boy that sea is vast[00:00:47]
What joy we're here at last[00:00:49]
His has to be the island of Japan[00:00:51]
Open up that door[00:00:53]
We are ship to shore[00:00:55]
We represent the President the sentiment of Uncle Sam[00:00:56]
The Commodore steps forward with a sneeze[00:01:00]
With as you were then and men at ease[00:01:03]
To raise this once great nation from her knees[00:01:24]
To teach her 'Thank you ' 'Pardon Me Please '[00:01:27]
Might as well be Mars[00:01:28]
Thank your stripes and stars[00:01:30]
Show me to the bars of old Japan[00:01:31]
Get down off this barge Tell the man in charge[00:01:33]
We're unafraid we come to trade a corporation for a nation[00:01:36]
Every man back to his station[00:01:39]
I can hear the native call[00:01:40]
Yankee go home[00:01:42]
Yankee go home[00:01:43]
You must not forget you have self respect[00:01:43]
I will tell you confidential[00:01:46]
I feel downright sentimential[00:01:48]
Like a good Yank go home[00:01:49]
Self respect is so essential[00:01:50]
I say let tomorrow come[00:01:51]
Maybe bring heartache or sonno joi[00:01:52]
Tell your son you're a homesick boy[00:01:53]
Don't you pick up a gun it's not a toy[00:01:55]
Now from Rio to Rome I hear Yankee go home[00:01:57]
Yankee go home Parting is so sweet a sorrow[00:01:59]
Yankee go home May bring happiness tomorrow[00:02:04]
One thing I have learned now that I've been burned[00:02:07]
Is that if you should find that your hand's in the fire[00:02:12]
You pull it back quickly and you retire like[00:02:20]
Any good Yank go home you may have to beg and borrow[00:02:42]
I say let tomorrow come[00:02:44]
On the level I'm telling you to the devil you give his due[00:02:46]
But remember that China will answer true[00:02:52]
I say Yankee go home[00:02:55]
Ai yai yai yai I say Yankee go home[00:03:34]
Yankee go home[00:03:59]
Yankee go home[00:04:02]
What resembled mirth on a trembling earth[00:04:03]
Now just feels so economic[00:04:07]
I feel tragic you want comic[00:04:09]
Like a good Yank go home live in love for every neighbor[00:04:11]
Though they're bound to disagree[00:04:14]
That you're some kind of V I P with your gunboat democracy[00:04:19]
You can shoot off your mouth in your own country[00:04:21]
I say Yankee go home I say Yankee go home[00:04:28]
Like a good Yank go home[00:04:32]
Self respect is so essential[00:04:35]
I say let tomorrow come[00:04:36]
'Til the dollar meets with the yen[00:04:36]
And the good times return again[00:04:39]
You recall how the dollar has fallen men[00:04:41]
That's why we gotta go[00:04:44]
We're Amerikano[00:04:45]
Ai yai yai yai[00:04:46]
