Fellows, if you're on
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 nightclubs and from saxophones
(Spoken)
I don't think much of this song, Jeeves
No, sir
It's called Nagasaki. Have you heard of it?
I've heard of Nagasaki, sir. A Japanese prefecture
Which encompasses the islands of Tsushima, Iki, Hirado
Shima, and of course the Goto Reto. It is situated--
No, no, no, no. This is a song, Jeeves. Barmy Fotheringay Phipps
Told me it was a real corker. In fact, on Barmy's recommendation
Sight unseen, I agreed to perform the dratted thing at the Drones'
Founders' Day Smoking Concert and Wing Ding. And what do I find?
I could not say, sir
Well, I'll tell you what I find, Jeeves, a dashed boring song. Well
I'll push on to the end, I suppose. Ah, this bit looks more promising
(Sung)
Hot ginger and dynamite
There's nothing but that at night
Back in Nagasaki
Where the fellows chew tobacky
And the women wicky-wacky-woo
(Spoken)
You see, I knew Barmy hadn't lost his touch
(Sung)
Oh, Fujiyama
You get a mama
Then your troubles increase
In some pagoda
She orders soda
The earth shakes milkshakes
Ten cents apiece
They kissy and huggy nice
By jingo, it's worth the price
Back in Nagasaki
Where the fellows chew tobacky
And the women wicky-wacky-woo
(Spoken)
Well, that's a bit better, eh, Jeeves?
It'll knock 'em dead at the smoker
