In Tokyo I don't know where to go
'Cause I can't read kanji
In Tokyo everything glows
'Cause it's all made of neon
In Tokyo men in white gloves
Push you onto the train
In Tokyo there's lots of guitar shops
I'd like to go there again
In Tokyo, in Tokyo
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Tokyo, Tokyo
In Tokyo
If you're Japanese and you wanna sneeze
You wear a white mask
If you're Japanese, you probably say "please"
'Cause you're very, very, very polite
If you're Japanese you eat more fish
With wasabi sauce
If you're Japanese you can't be squeamish
'Cause they eat boiled pig's ears
In Tokyo
In Tokyo, in Tokyo
Na na na na na na na na
Tokyo, Tokyo
In Tokyo
"Guitar solo!"
'Cause I can't read kanji
In Tokyo everything glows
'Cause it's all made of neon
Push you onto the train
In Tokyo there's lots of guitar shops
I'd like to go there again
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Tokyo, Tokyo
In Tokyo
You wear a white mask
If you're Japanese, you probably say "please"
'Cause you're very, very, very polite
If you're Japanese you eat more fish
With wasabi sauce
If you're Japanese you can't be squeamish
'Cause they eat boiled pig's ears
In Tokyo
Na na na na na na na na
Tokyo, Tokyo
In Tokyo

it's actually "you eat RAW fish/ with wasabi sauce" i.e. sushi, but the rest of the lyrics are a-ok.
