Song | Going Back To Okinawa |
Artist | Ry Cooder |
Album | Get Rhythm |
(ry cooder) | |
Goin' back down to okinawa | |
Sorry, baby, but i can't take you | |
You better stay at home in california | |
There's nothing over there that you can do | |
Goin' back down to okinawa | |
Ain't gonna do me like you've done before | |
They treat me like a king down in okinawa | |
And i may never come back no more | |
It's just an island floating in the sun | |
Everybody is having so much fun | |
Pretty mamas laying in the sand | |
Sure to know how to treat your man | |
Okinawian baby, won't you come by me ? | |
Sun going down in the china sea | |
Making love on the beach all night | |
Okinawa moon is shining so bright | |
Folks in okinawa sure have fun | |
They get together when the working day is done | |
Drinking cheap wine. and making romance | |
While some old man's doing the okina dance | |
Back in the days of world war ii | |
Fought against the japanese like me and you | |
Everybody's worried &bout world war iii | |
Okinawa's just the place where i'm gonna be | |
Going back to okinawa | |
Sorry, but i can't take you | |
Never coming back no more, baby |
