Fellows, if you're arn I will spin a yarn That was told to me by Able Seaman Jones Once he had the blues So he took a cruise Far away from night-clubs and from saxophones He said, "Yo Ho, I've made a certain port And when you talk about real he-man sport"
Hot ginger and dynamite There's nothing but that at night Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo The way they can entertain Would hurry a hurricane Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky wacky Woo
In Fujiama You get a mama Then your troubles increase In some pagoda She orders soda Earth-shake milk-shakes, ten cents a piece They kissy and huggy nice Oh, By Jingo! It's worth the price Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo
Now when the day is warm You can keep in form With a bowl of rice beneath a parasol. Every gentle man Has to use a fan And they only use suspenders in the fall That's where the girls don't think of rings and furs Gosh, it's the nicest place that ever weres
They give you a carriage free The horse is a Japanee Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo They sit you upon the floor No wonder your pants get sore Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo
With Sweet Kimoner I pulled a boner I kept it up at high speed I got rhumatics And then psyatics Halatosisis, that's guarenteed You just have to act your age Or wind up inside a cage Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo
With an ice-cream cone and a bottle of tea You can rest all day by the hickory tree But when night comes round, oh gosh oh gee Mother, mother, mother, pin a rose on me.
Those pretty mamas In pink pyjamas They try to give you a kiss Those torid teases In B.V.D.ses Heaven help a sailor on a night like this! Not too gentle and not too rough But you've got to tell them when you've had enough Back in Nagasaki Where the fellers chew tobaccy And the women wicky-wacky Woo
