Me, Japanese Boy - Harpers Bizarre

Long, long ago in a land far away

A little boy and a girl were so in love

Standing 'neath the moon above

He said, me Japanese boy

I love you, I do love you

You Japanese girl, you love me

Please say you do

He carved their names

On an old cherry tree

Just like they’ve done

In Japan since time began

Then he gently held her hand

And said, me Japanese boy

I love you, I do love you

You Japanese girl, you love me

Please say you do

In a blue and white kimono

She became his happy bride

From that day until this very moment

She’s been standing by his side

Now they are old

And from what I am told

They’re still in love

Just as much as they once were

Every night he kisses her

And says, me Japanese boy

I love you, I do love you

That is the way that it should be

When love is true

That is the way that it should be

For me and you
