Working For The Japanese |
I ain’t never read the Wall Street Journal, |
I ain’t no PH.D. |
The Trickle Down theory and the Laffer Curve, |
Are just Greek to me. |
I’m ignorant about inflation, |
And the Federal Reserve T-note. |
I ain’t never had a lesson in the Great Depression, |
But, this much I know. |
We’re all working for the Japanese, |
Little cars and color TV’s. |
Sending all our money overseas, |
To the Eastern ‘sphere. |
One day we’re gonna lose our roots, |
Wear Oriental jeans and boots. |
And, drink nothing, but Kawasaki saki, Honda wine, and Mitsubishi light beer. |
Chrysler fights for survival, |
So does General Motors. |
Ford perseveres with better ideas, |
And, everybody drives Toyotas. |
Sony owns the Rockefeller Center, |
And, the Hawaiian archipelago. |
We buy Seiko’s, walkman’s, TV’s, and minivans, |
And, wonder where the money all goes. |
Just working for the Japanese, |
Little cars and color TV’s. |
Sending all our money overseas, |
To the Eastern ‘sphere. |
One day we’re gonna lose our roots, |
Wear Oriental jeans and boots. |
And, drink nothing, but Kawasaki saki, Honda wine, and Mitsubishi light beer. |
I’m gonna gather up all my dollars, |
Trade ‘em in for Yen. |
Get up and go to Tokyo, |
Start over again. |
Gonna change my name to Yamada, |
Marry me a geisha wife. |
And, eat nutritious dishes like little raw fishes, |
And, be happy for the rest of my life. |
While you’re a-workin' for the Japanese, |
Little cars and color TV’s. |
Sending all your money overseas, |
To the Eastern ‘sphere. |
One day you’re gonna roose your loots, |
Where Oriental jeans and boots. |
And, drink nothing but Kawasaki saki, Honda wine, and Mitsubishi right beer. |
You’re gonna love that, |
Kawasaki saki, Honda wine, and Mitsubishi light beer. |
Ah-so! |
