Thread Name: Lyr Req: Yokohama Mama (to tune of 'Molly Malone')
Subject: Lyr Req: Looking for derivation of 'Molly Malone'
I friend from Solon USA has asked the following:-

I've searched for the words for a song that crossed my mind while eating oriental food last evening.
I tried "google" but had no luck- possibly because I had the wrong name.
The song is from many years ago and I believe the first lines are: -

Was in Yokohama,
I met this hot mama,
Crying "Octopus, jellyfish, rice and dried squid.

It is to the tune of 'In Dublin's fair city - Molly Malone".

Can anybody help please?
