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

Two oriental eyes implore you

Femme fatal or ingenue?

She very cunning, fiendish clever

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
