(Kinky Friedman)

Well, a long time ago in old Tokyo
By the softly flowing stream
I left her there with the stars in her hair
On the other side of a dream
Well, I traveled through with a heart full of blue
Never quite making my way
Till I come upon a strawberry blonde
Living in Pittsburgh, PA

Ah, bananas and rice they used to be nice
On the other side of a dream
Oh, bananas and rice they used to be nice
But now it's bananas an cream

I stood hypnotized, I stared in her eyes,
She smiled and I suddenly knew
If I made her my bride then the other side
0f my dream would finally come true

Ah, bananas and rice they used to be nice
On the other side of a dream
Oh, oh, bananas and rice they used to be nice
But now it's bananas and cream

Well, a long time ago in old Tokyo
By the softly flowing stream
I left her there with the stars in her hair
On the other side of a dream

Ah, bananas and rice they used to be nice
On the other side of a dream
Oh, bananas and rice they used to be nice
But now it's bananas and cream

Bananas and rice used to be nice
On the other side of a dream
Oh, oh, bananas and rice they used to be nice
But now it's bananas and cream

Bananas and rice used to be nice
On the other side of a dream
Bananas and rice
