Yankee, Go Home - Van Dyke Parks[00:00:00]

A Four ships have sailed the ocean to the bay[00:00:17]

A chop on the water o'er waves of gray[00:00:22]

The Commodore a notion in the spray[00:00:29]

Where in emotion[00:00:34]

We hear him say[00:00:36]

Boy that sea is vast[00:00:40]

What joy we're here at last[00:00:43]

His has to be the island of Japan[00:00:46]

Open up that door[00:00:52]

We are ship to shore[00:00:54]

We represent the President the sentiment of Uncle Sam[00:00:57]

The Commodore steps forward with a sneeze[00:01:04]

With "as you were then and men at ease[00:01:08]

To raise this once great nation from her knees[00:01:14]

To teach her Thank you 'Pardon Me Please[00:01:20]

Might as well be Mars[00:01:26]

Thank your stripes and stars[00:01:29]

Show me to the bars of old Japan[00:01:32]

Get down off this barge Tell the man in charge[00:01:38]

We're unafraid we come to trade a corporation for a nation[00:01:43]

Every man back to his station[00:01:49]

I can hear the native call[00:01:52]

Yankee go home[00:01:56]

Yankee go home[00:02:01]

You must not forget you have self-respect[00:02:07]

I will tell you confidential[00:02:13]

I feel downright sentimential[00:02:16]

Like a good Yank go home[00:02:18]

Self-respect is so essential[00:02:21]

I say let tomorrow come[00:02:24]

Maybe bring heartache or sonno joi[00:02:29]

Tell your son you're a homesick boy[00:02:32]

Don't you pick up a gun it's not a toy[00:02:35]

Now from Rio to Rome I hear Yankee go home[00:02:38]

Yankee go home Parting is so sweet a sorrow[00:02:43]

Yankee go home May bring happiness tomorrow[00:02:49]

One thing I have learned now that I've been burned[00:02:54]

Is that if you should find that your hand's in the fire[00:03:00]

You pull it back quickly and you retire like[00:03:02]

Any good Yank go home you may have to beg and borrow[00:03:06]

I say let tomorrow come[00:03:12]

On the level I'm telling you to the devil you give his due[00:03:17]

But remember that China will answer true[00:03:22]

I say Yankee go home[00:03:26]

Ai yai yai yai I say Yankee go home[00:03:28]

Ai yai yai yai I say Yankee go home[00:03:46]

Ai yai yai yai I say Yankee go home[00:04:00]

Yankee go home[00:04:14]

Yankee go home[00:04:19]

What resembled mirth on a trembling earth[00:04:25]

Now just feels so economic[00:04:31]

I feel tragic you want comic[00:04:34]

Like a good Yank go home live in love for every neighbor[00:04:36]

Though they're bound to disagree[00:04:42]

That you're some kind of V I P with your gunboat democracy[00:04:48]

You can shoot off your mouth in your own country[00:04:53]

I say Yankee go home I say Yankee go home[00:04:56]

Like a good Yank go home[00:05:26]

Self-respect is so essential[00:05:28]

I say let tomorrow come[00:05:32]

'Til the dollar meets with the yen[00:05:37]

And the good times come back again[00:05:40]

You recall how the dollar has fallen men[00:05:42]

That's why we gotta go[00:05:45]

We're Amerikano[00:05:48]

Ai yai yai yai Ai yai yai yai I say Yankee go home[00:05:51]
