Bryan Ferry - Tokyo Joe lyrics
[Bryan Ferry - Tokyo Joe lyrics]
She like lotus blossom in her hair
Be-bop records and something new
Sometimes borrowed, but she's never blue
Oh, nonot Tokyo Joe
Way past midnight, she not home
She cut the ice down the Danger Zone
Water-tight dresses, she don't care
A trifle risqué, a tart, no sir
Oh, nosounds like Tokyo Joe
Geisha girl show you she adore you
Two oriental eyes implore you
Femme fatale or ingenue?
She very cunning, fiendish clever
Geisha girl suffer many times a fool
Sayonara moon 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' out telexes to Tupelo
Dear John, doh ray me fah so?
Let's gocall for Tokyo Joe
Walkin' tall down the Danger Zone
She hokey-cokey 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 tell me no lie"
GI boys howlin' out for more
VIP'S purrin' "Je t'adore"
Ah sothat's Tokyo Joe
