Lyrics for To the Fair Motormaids of Japan

Oh, hah, oh, hah And the girls say, oh, hah And they still say, oh, hah So I took a trip to the center of him in a California tracksuit But you fell too hard for a little Deuce Coupe, but she ran off with a Nazi And let's not forget that sea foam suit she put you in to see the greyhounds Sure they run real faster than you ever could, or will Say goodbye to the fair motormaids of Japan Yume no yoida wa, you said "We're dead, not sleeping" The things that I would go through to turn you back around The laces I would trip on, bring on the circus crowds The last banana hair-do got a laugh from the samurais The things that I'd turn into to turn you back to me again Oh, hah Summer comes and summer goes Shells and shells and a bad girl's balm So say goodbye to the fair motormaids of Japan Yume no yoida wa, you said "We're dead, not sleeping" The things that I would go through to turn you back around The planes that I have died on, trade you for another cloud The mountain biking posse that brought back another man The things that I'd turn into Watch me turn, the things that I'd turn into Watch me turn, watch me turn, watch me turn The things that I'd turn into
