Gai-Gin Man - Nick Lowe

But it’s nine hours later than that for me

Through immigration we did crawl

I’m a giant of a man in the customs hall

Osaka-Supporu that’s a two hour hop

Just time to grab a bite in the Skysnak shop

You’ve only got to utter one 'seema-seng'

That’s gonna set you back about a thousand yen

But me, I’m up here having nothing but fun

I’m a gai-gin man in the land of the rising sun

Well a nation’s waiting on a vacant throne

Hirohito’s heart-beat rhythm way on down

On the streets of the Ginza all they know

Is the crown prince flew back to Tokyo

But me I’m up here having nothing but fun

I’m gai-gin man in the land of the rising sun

I’m a gai-gin, gai-gin, gai-gin, gai-gin man

I’m a gai-gin, gai-gin, gai-gin, gai-gin man

Everybody kow-tow to me when we meet

While the kids cat-call at me in the street

They say there goes a gai-gin man, gai-gin man

I’m a gai-gin

Can’t you tell?

Gai-gin man
