Four ships have sailed the ocean to the bay A chop on the water o'er waves of gray The Commodore a notion in the spray Where in emotion We hear him say "Boy that sea is vast! What joy we're here at last! This has to be the island of Japan! Open up that door! We are ship to shore! We represent the President the sentiment of Uncle Sam!" The Commodore steps forward with a sneeze With "as you were then and men at ease To raise this once great nation from her knees To teach her 'Thank you!' 'Pardon Me Please!' Might as well be Mars! Thank your stripes and stars! Show me to the bars of old Japan! Get down off this barge! Tell the man in charge! We're unafraid we come to trade a corporation for a nation Every man back to his station I can hear the native call Yankee go home Yankee go home You must not forget you have self-respect I will tell you confidential I feel downright sentimential Like a good Yank go home Self-respect is so essential I say let tomorrow come Maybe bring heartache or sonno joi Tell your son you're a homesick boy Don't you pick up a gun it's not a toy Now from Rio to Rome I hear Yankee go home" Yankee go home "Parting is so sweet a sorrow" Yankee go home "May bring happiness tomorrow One thing I have learned now that I've been burned Is that if you should find that your hand's in the fire You pull it back quickly and you retire like Any good Yank go home you may have to beg and borrow I say let tomorrow come On the level I'm telling you to the devil you give his due But remember that China will answer true I say Yankee go home Ai yai yai yai I say Yankee go home Yankee go home Yankee go home What resembled mirth on a trembling earth Now just feels so economic I feel tragic you want comic Like a good Yank go home live in love for every neighbor Though they're bound to disagree That you're some kind of V.I.P. with your gunboat democracy You can shoot off your mouth in your own country I say Yankee go home I say Yankee go home Like a good Yank go home Self-respect is so essential I say let tomorrow come 'Til the dollar meets with the yen And the good times return again You recall how the dollar has fallen men That's why we gotta go We're Amerikano Ai yai yai yai" |

Paniolo cowboy in a field of sugar cane Once there was a forest where they hid there in the rain Cowboy bowboy cowboy Wanderin' Wahini under locks of raven hair Beads of inspiration Hopin' he would not forget just where Heyup cowboy! Up above the canopy in the highest branches of a tree He would take her longingly and say "One day you'll belong to me" I forgot to mention it was nineteen forty-one Zeros kept a-comin' like to blanket out the sun Cowboy cowboy So they lay suspended dreaming of some kind of god With their limbs akimbo and extended to the mind of God Cowboy And the night without regret says it's time to let your hair down low There they lay in silhouette he would say I'd stay yet have to go King Kamehameha met with Captain Cook uopn the shore Lookin' at all the cattle asked him "What the hell are these for?" Cowboy cowboy cowboy Gone now is the forest and the lovers of the trees Now there is a chorus playing golf who say in Japanese Kau-boi |

Noone can forget the place where she has gone away Funny how regret can taste like honey in L.A. anyway All the trees ornamental Every breeze downright sentimental No one can forget her face when she has gone away Let a bungalow and yard fulfill your every need Get a Romeo and garden all but gone to seed as they say Every swallow returning Just to follow a natural yearning It is just a paper chase when she has gone away What the heck I've hit the deck and checked romance on holiday Drawn a breath and danced with death Until the dawn had held it at bay Watched the palms by the sea sway In the arms of beautiful Nissei Now I can't forget her face since she has gone away Manzanar not the kind of girl to hit the street Manzanar she is dancin to a brand new beat Don't know me from Ansel Adams 'cause I'm from Los Angeles Would've called her but was at a loss For what to say just to please When it gets right down there to the wire When you're reeling and feel her desire Tell her she is All-American in Japanese This is a dump without a doubt You gotta jump you wanna shout And it is sump thin you got out Manzanar You are not warm a desert storm And where the High Sierra hits the flyway You are alone you will explode To Arizone you hit the road Next sound you hear is pounding down the highway Like a man without a nation In a camp of concentration With a stamp of degredation and shame To a place they call it Manzanar by name You are awake an evening star All you can take is makin out just where you are There's a name to explore there And a story of shame and war there In Manzanar in Manzanar Manzanar! |

This is like no island you have seen It is not Argentine nor Tangerine Maybe you are navy or marine It is not African nor Caribbean Take the missionary position yes the missionary position For a man who is on a mission other matters should come to mind Take the missionary position makes me faint & I ain't gonna listen But a good man to my own disposition is a man who is hard to find Hey sailor come from the sea you talk to me You're a tar You're a far cry from home While you are at liberty to talk to me People stare I'm aware is it fair? On a dare I don't care What they say Give us only today Hey sailor come from the sea It's you and me Call it fate Call it great destiny Since we are at liberty and speaking free I won't grieve if you find you must leave Me behind I won't mind I have heard of push and shove You bring me that word called love Calypso if my heart could only speak We'd take a week in Martinique and just go crazy neh? Calypso he is speaking Greek to me It is hide and seek you see This can be our fantasy today Como dice Calypso |

Mister Ford sez to Mister Firestone When they meet at the old campground "We will send out the news by wire and Tell all the people what we have found We can ask Thomas Alva Edison Telephone Alexander Graham Bell And if someone comes here with something to sell Just make yourself clear and tell him to go straight to hell Trade war! For your peace and our protection Give us speed and new direction Someone needs to mind the store Trade war! As is mentioned in the Bible Nations tend to what is tribal Across the ocean white with foam Spend your dollars here at home" Mister Ford turns to MisterFirestone "Well the nation has gotta roll Time has come for the Yanks to load up the tanks If a victory is our goal To show the world all about free enterprize Cut the competition down to size We must make it a date to participate in cooperation We are a nation at war Trade war! We are thinking of survival At the brink with each new rival Here to even up the score Trade war! Competition now is global Give your country what is noble If you're an eagle you must soar We are a nation as at war! There's a bomber up in the sky tonight 'Cause the two brothers Wright took flight Man has gone to the air to keep the world fair Show the others where might makes right When you look up in the wild blue yonder now And see a star or a satellite On a Yankee's invention it may depend So lend us your spirit bright! Trade war! Don't sell land to the invader Tell him come back maybe later We don't do that anymore Trade war! Thanks to our man Ronald Reagan He is gone and we are begging For just the interest on the loan And calamity unknown Trade war! For our lands and independence For our children and descendants We must hold them at the door Trade war! And the sparks have started flying Though your heart says you're denying Our love for all humanity It's what keeps us breathing free Trade war! Make it legal make it tender May our nation not surrender oh no! For just one race to rule the world Keep that battle flag unfurled!" |

The moon in all its splendor swings into sight Puts up a fight puts out a porch light And soon we both just surrender to its might Part out of fright part out of love light Part out of love Soon you and I are just a memory Caught up in some cicadae symphony And you and I a thought that came to me A mason jar a star out in the night Bug in a jug huggin the love light Just you and I to chase a Milky Way What can I say we're out of love light We're out of love The moon in all its splendor swings out of sight Put up a fight put out a porch light And soon we both just surrender to its might Part out of fright part out of love light Part out of love |

We want just one home run That's all that we are after My son I been around the diamond But not for many a year And I have lost and won The cost in tears and laughter You just step up and face that pitcher When these two words you hear Batter up! batter up! With His eye on the sparrow you'll fly like an arrow on high Batter up! batter up! Whether losing or winning in only beginning You'll make it on home by and by You take a bat of pine From some denuded forest The glove was made by Mr.Spaulding From a cow in Salvador And by some power divine The crowd joins in the chorus It is a case of now or never And you can hear them roar Ko ko lo to ki me ku to ki Ka ze wa to ma li To mo ni su su mi yu ko Mi la i bo ku la no Ao zo la hi lo ga lu no ha la ni yu ko Kyo o wa ta no shi i ku sa ya kyu u sa Bo ku no ne ga i wa ta ta hi to tsu no Ho o mu la no i pa tsu u tsu da ke sa Ta da bo lu ni mu ka i o mo i ki i li pu le i su ru da ke |
