Japayuki Lady

Japayuki lady
Working through the night
Hair’s a golden rainbow
What a glorious sight
Standing on a corner
12-inch high-heel shoes
Taking care of business
What’s a girl to do?
Subarashii, subarashii . . .

Japayuki lady
Far away from home
Saving up the money
Calling on the phone
How you miss your children
Family and friends
Instant noodle exile
Balikbayan yen

Konban wa. (Good evening.)
Gokigen ikaga desu ka? (How are you?)
Konban wa. (Good evening.)
Anata wa Firipin-jin desu ka? (Are you Filipino?)
Onamae wa? (Your name please?)
Otaku wa dochira desu ka? (Where do you live?)
Watashi to issho ni kite kudasai. (Come with me.)
Subarashii, subarashii, subarashii. (Wonderful…)

Japayuki lady
Working through the night
Got a round trip ticket
