Tokyo, Oklahoma

(álbum: Tokyo, Oklahoma - 1985)

Tokyo, Oklahoma is on the line
Is this Hiroshima seven-nine-eight-o-five?
I have a person to person for miss So-Ling-Foo
This is Tulsa, Oklahoma, ma'am, is that you?

"I have your party waiting sir," the operator said
Tokyo's on the line in Tulsa, go ahead
I started to smile when she said to me
"This is So-Ling-Foo, who's calling please?"
"This is Tok-San Itchy-Ban, So-Ling-Foo
And your number one cowboy's missing you"

Tokyo, Oklahoma is lonely tonight
Pretty geisha girl, you are on my mind
Dark clouds hanging over Tulsa skies
Tokyo, Oklahoma is lonely tonight

Oh well, we talked and we talked on into the night
I was on the early morning western red-eye flight
Due to turbulent weather, we were way overtime
And we taxied into Tokyo's terminal D-9

I stepped off of Pan-Am's flight twenty-two
I kept on looking but I couldn't find So-Ling-Foo
I was headed for the lounge the arrow pointed to
When an oriental angel stepped from the ladies room

She wrapped her arms around me and she started to smile
When I said, "Pretty geisha girl, would you be my bride?"
She said, "Tok-San Itchy-Ban, So-Ling-Foo
Be honorable number one wife to you"

Tokyo, Oklahoma is smiling tonight
Smell the cherry blossoms, hear the wedding bells chime
Soon we'll be living on Tulsa time
Tokyo, Oklahoma is smiling tonight
