Tokyo Bay |
| I’ll be a long gone daddy when they find my note |
| But just for the record this is what I wrote |
| I’m relocating to a foreign shore |
| You won’t have me to kick around no more |
| You can’t make me stay |
| I’m leaving today |
| It’s anchors aweigh |
| I’m shipping out to Tokyo Bay |
| There’s a solemn little geisha pining for me |
| Under a parasol out on the quay |
| She knows I’m coming from beyond the sea |
| And she’s hoping and a-praying most fervently |
| That today’s the day I come smoking into Tokyo Bay |
| I’ll find a liner, then my plan |
| To work my ticket as some kind of hand |
| Maybe picking up after the cabaret band |
| Anything to get my toes in the sands of Tokyo Bay |
| Well in a dim dockside canteen I know |
| With my collar turned up and my cap down low |
| All dressed up like a matelot |
| I got my grip in my hand packed ready to go |
| I’ll be long gone daddy when they find my note |
| But just for the record this is what I wrote |
| You, you, you can’t make me stay |
| I’m leaving today |
| So glad to say |
| I’m heading up the gangway |
| Bound for Tokyo Bay |
| Tokyo Bay |
| I’ll be long gone daddy |
| Be long gone daddy |
| Long, long gone daddy |
| Long gone daddy |
| So long |
| That’s all I wrote |
