I'm American in Nippon

I don't drink Tea I like Juice my dear
I Take toast over rice as a side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an American in Nippon

See me walking down Yamashita Dori
A sideways cap on my head
I wear it everywhere I walk
I'm an American in Nippon

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an American in Nippon
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an American in Nippon

If, "English maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a Japanese word to ease them and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an American in Nippon
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an American in Nippon

Fortitude, Energy can lead to popularity
You could become the top one
Shyness, drunkenness are everywhere within this Nationality

Being a candle will blind like the sun

Takes more than a business suit to make a life
Takes more than a bow to ease their strife
Confront the society ,they avoid when they can
A gentleman will chase skirts but never return

If, "English maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a Japanese word to ease them and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an American in Nippon
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an American in Nippon
