From the Kuriles, steaming south
To ride the tiger, climb the mount
Undiscovered in misty cold
High stake gamble, the crippling blow
Hammering guns, armor piercing bombs
Aiming at the battleships, ground facilities
Carriers not at anchorage, safe on open sea
Nakajimas, screeching dives
Eager bandits, do or die
Pearl Harbor, paralyzed
Steel downpour on 
HawaiiHammering guns, armor piercing bombs
Aiming at the battleships, ground facilities
Carriers not at anchorage, safe on open sea
Capsized, capsized, sunken vessels
Defenseless, defenseless casualties
Massacred, massacred by treason
A date which will live in infamy
