I doubt my town is still my own
They're telling me my city block is here on loan
Weren't our new neighbors once our enemies
Clever these Japanese
Their country's overcrowded
They need more land
The USA has plenty on hand
We're eager to sell and they're eager to please
Clever these Japanese
We're hungry mice eating their cheese
Clever these Japanese
They're building planes that fly so fast
We'll be going Tokyoing with all of our cash
"Don't shop at home -- travel overseas!"
Clever these Japanese
We dropped the bomb
Made them taste defeat
We thought we had them at our feet
Now we're buried underneath their new technologies
Clever these Japanese
Walkmans, videotapes, CDs
Clever these Japanese
