POLAROID SUITCASE LYRICS

I'm Japanese

Well, I'm a stranger in a weird, foreign land
I just stepped off the Central Line
I've only got a thousand yen in my hand
That's only £5.29

Please mister, won't you help me out
I cannot find my way about
Give us a quid to buy some rice and stuff

Oh-oh, I'm Japanese
Can you direct me to the station, please?
Oh-oh, I'm Japanese
Chinese, Japanese, mucky knees, what are these?

Back in Japan I've got a bamboo bungalow
There is a futon on the floor
My country's flag is red with splashes of yellow
Or is that China? I'm not sure

Bad men say I pronounce an "R"
Like it's an "L" and vice versa
But that's just lacist and lidicurous

Oh-oh, I'm Japanese
You say I'm not and I will flick the V's
Oh-oh, I'm Japanese
Shogun, Pokemon, Hiroshima, konichiwa

Red circle on a big white cloth
Godzilla fights the giant moth
Kimonoed geishas do a dance
Fat blokes fight in their underpants
I love the gleaming cities
Cartoon kiddies with big titties
Why won't you accept I'm from Tokyo?
It makes me broody angly

Oh-oh, I'm Japanese
I eat raw fish and I'm allergic to cheese
Oh-oh, I'm Japanese
Hentai, Shoganai, Samurai, Banzai

Oh-oh, I'm Japanese
Even though I'm blonde and I'm as tall as John Cleese
Oh-oh, I'm Japanese
Chinese, Japanese, mucky knees, what are these?
