John Anderson Tokyo Oklahoma Lyrics

Tokyo Oklahoma Lyrics

Tokyo, Oklahoma is on the line

Is this Hiroshima seven-nine-eight-o-five?

I have a person to person for miss Soo-Ling-Foo

This is Tulsa, Oklahoma, ma'am, is that you?



"I have your party waitin' sir," the operator said

Tokyo's on the line in Tulsa, go ahead

I started to smile when she said to me

"This is Soo-Ling-Foo, who's calling please?"

This is Tok-San Itchy-Ban, Soo-Ling-Foo

And your number one cowboy's missing you



Tokyo, Oklahoma is lonely tonight

Pretty geisha girl, you are on my mind

Dark clouds hangin' over Tulsa skies

Tokyo, Oklahoma is lonely tonight



Oh well, we talked and we talked on into the night

I was on the early mornin' western red-eye flight

Due to turbulent weather, we were way overtime

When we taxied into Tokyo's terminal D-9



I stepped off of Pan-Am's flight twenty-two

I kept on lookin' but I couldn't find Soo-Ling-Foo

I was headed for the lounge the arrow pointed to

When an oriental angel stepped from the ladies room



She wrapped her arms around me and she started to smile

When I said, "Pretty geisha girl, would you be my bride?"

She said, "Tok-San Itchy-Ban, Soo-Ling-Foo

Be honorable number one wife to you"



Tokyo, Oklahoma is smilin' tonight

Smell the cherry blossoms, hear the weddin' bells chime

Soon we'll be livin' on Tulsa time

Tokyo, Oklahoma is smilin' tonight, that's right
