The land of the rising sun
So in demand the Yen gains strength
by the day buying power
Japan flowers spreading flowers scent
Enveloping our globe
Since I arriving (sic)
Been watching bullet trains
Hit speed of light
The view's ever changing
Mount Fuji still rules
The Imperial Japan
I'm dreaming of Japan
Still dreaming of Japan
I'm dreaming of Japan
Always dreaming of Japan
Harajuku shopping
Shibuya nightclubs greet me
With an Oriental Beat
Such a new scene so exciting
Presented to me all duty free
Geishas in Kimonos
Undress introduce me to sex Oriental style
Give it to me add to my memories
Of the far East
Oh is this Heaven
Or is this Hell
All lost and drunk
Down the Ginza again
Somebody translate get me to my hotel
Get me to a taxi let me talk about it
I'm Tokyo dreaming
My thoughts drift in to another place another time
How it feels so extremely sweet and so Japanese
In the land of the rising sun
The girls down Shibuya live that Oriental Beat
Yeah I'll go there
If not by airplane at least in my dreams
