Tokyo Oklahoma Lyrics - John Anderson

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
