Gai-gin Man Lyrics - Nick Lowe

Touchdown Narita five G.M.T. 

But it's nine hours later than that for me 

Through immigration we did crawl 

I'm a giant of a man in the customs hall 

Osaka-Supporu that's a two hour hop 

Just time to grab a bite in the Skysnak shop 

You've only got to utter one 'seema-seng' 

That's gonna set you back about a thousand yen 

But me, I'm up here having nothing but fun 

I'm a gai-gin man in the land of the rising sun

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Well a nation's waiting on a vacant throne 

Hirohito's heart-beat rhythm way on down 

On the streets of the Ginza all they know 

Is the crown prince flew back to Tokyo 

But me I'm up here having nothing but fun 

I'm gai-gin man in the land of the rising sun

I'm a gai-gin, gai-gin, gai-gin, gai-gin man 

I'm a gai-gin, gai-gin, gai-gin, gai-gin man 

Everybody kow-tow to me when we meet 

While the kids cat-call at me in the street 

They say there goes a gai-gin man, gai-gin man 

I'm a gai-gin 

Can't you tell?
