YOKOHAMA MAMA
(Tune - "Cockles & Mussels" – supply your own accent)

(Sung:) 'Twas in Yokohama, I met this hot mama,
Serving radishes, octopus, rice, and dried squid.
This sharp-looking cookie, her name was Suzuki,
She served radishes, octopus, rice, and dried squid.

(Spoken:) It were a moonlight night in Yokohama. I were feeling hungry and wanting to eat, so I am walking into tiny Japanese restaurant and am sitting down on my seat. The waitress were a most beautiful creature. Like G.I. say, she are a cute little mouse. Then I notice how she are constructed. My goodness – she are built just like a brick chicken-house. I think to myself: gee whiz! Hot dog! Oh joy! This little cutie-pie in sweater are making Jane Russell to look just like skinny underfed boy. Then I am winking at her and saying, "Hello, baby doll. Where you been all my life? How you like to go for ride in my jeep?" And she answer me in her musical voice. She say, "Getting lost, you little oriental creep." I laugh, ha-ha, at this very funny joke. Then I say, "Please, kiddo. Cannot you see I have terrific heartburn for you, and you are cold as well-digger's knee." And she say, "No, no, really I am very hot tomato. Just wait till I change my dress and my socks, I put on my crazy red shoes, and we go out and get double shot of sake over the rocks." Ho, ho! Then we have jolly good time, Suzuki and me. When I take her home, I feel so tickle, for she give me big kiss and say, "Goodnight, honey-bucket. Be careful, not take wooden nickel." Now Suzuki and me we are wed, and with great joy I am flipping my lid. I am keeping her from foggy, foggy dew, and she are cooking for me rice and dried squid.

This sharp-looking cookie, her name is Suzuki,
She is fixing me breakfast of rice and dried squid.
