about

Is this racist? Julia reminded me that I stole it (un/subconsciously) from "Sipping Cider Through a Straw", but George did a similar thing with the Chiffons, and Pablo famously (or apocryphally) said artists don't borrow: they steal. Whatevs.

lyrics

Japanese girl, drinking Heineken through a straw
Japanese girl, cutest thing I ever saw
When you're laughing, are you smiling at me?
When you're smiling, are you laughing at me?

Evening sun in summertime, shadows just ahead
Turn around, there's no one there, the whole damn town is dead
Neon melts into the boulevard, orange bleeds into red
Taking it easy shouldn't be so hard
At least that's what she said

Don't you try to tell me what went wrong
Don't you try to tell me, don't explain
Won't you just please tell me what's your name, Japanese girl?
