Japanese Magazines
Original Lyrics
I read the TNB if you know what I mean
The Kansai Flea Market and the Kansai Scene
If I need a job don’t have to look hard
Just pick 1 up at a gaijin bar
I read the Japan Times cause Ninomiya’s nice
Wonder if she wants to go out tonight
I drink on the train without any shame
And open up sets to perfect my game
I hangout at The Cellar to listen to bands
My Japanese is alright arigatou man
Hey here’s some good advice that you should learn fast
Cause there are some questions that you should never ask
Chorus
--------------------
Don’t ask me how long I’ve been here
Don’t ask me if I like nato
Don’t tell me I’m good with chopsticks
Thankyou, yes arigatou
Don’t ask me why I came here
Cause you know it’s for the money ( Cause you know that question’s funny)
Don’t ask me nan sai desu ka
Or shigoto wa nani
------------------------
I read the Kansai Scene if you know what I mean
The Kansai Flea Market and TNB
If I need a T.V. or a half decent car
I pick up the info at a gaijin bar
I read the Japan Times cause Ninomiya’s nice
I wonder if she’s feeling lonely tonight
I sleep on the train without any shame
Sometimes I miss my stop and end up being late
And I hangout at the Blarney to listen to bands
My nihongo’s daijoubu arigatou man
But if you wanna hangout and enjoy the day
Here are some things that you should never say
Chorus
I read the Kansai Flea Market if you know what I mean
The TNB and Japan Zine
But I never buy insurance or telephone cards
I just pick up the info at gaijin bars
I read The Japan Times cause Ninomiya’s nice
I wonder if she’s thinking of me tonight
I stare at legs on the train without any shame
Also make-up girls that pretty their face
I hangout at the Blarney to listen to bands
And my Kansai ben ’s alright arigatou man
To enjoy my company for another day
Don’t ask stupid questions and you’ll be OK
Bridge
--------------------
It’s just so many times
It’s been too many times
It’s been too many times that I--------------
I heard em too many times
Way too too many times
Way too too many times and WHY-------
( bridge melody again without lyrics )
--------------------
CHORUS
I read those free magazines if you know what I mean
KFM Kansai Scene and Japan Zine
Thanks you guys your future it looks so bright
Man that would rock if you put us inside!
