I was dreaming of Tokyo again

With a pocket full of yen to spin

Sipping sake all alone

I had a table for one

Suddenly it was you and me

Left me half in tears

It's the august moon

In the land of the rising sun

You called me Tokyo Joe, oh, oh

You were my rose in Tokyo

I still love you so, oh

Arso, did you misunderstand

Saying sayonara may you cry

That's not what I meant when I said goodbye

How could I forget the love which you & I

Made in Japan

From the orient to 'temply' bay

You know it's half a world away

you daddy & mama suffered

Said you could not go

So this American boy sailed on home

Left his Japanese girl alone

My heart stayed there with you in Tokyo
