lyrics

Japanese name, oh Japanese name
who's got a Japanese name
Japanese name, oh Japanese name
what a mysterious name.

I wasn't born in a rice bowl
but sometimes I like to eat it
*chomp chomp*
every time I go to the counter and tell them my name
they always ask me to repeat it.

Japanese name, oh Japanese name
he's got a Japanese name
Japanese name, oh Japanese name
we love you.

They say you got a funny name kid
where is that that you're from
i tell him "dang ol down near west Virginia
now give me my egg foo yung"

Japanese name, oh Japanese name
just a Chinese kid with a Japanese
Japanese name, oh Japanese name
we want you.

you know when I was a kid it was such a pain
to be a kid with a Japanese name
now all the kids that made fun of me and my name
have Japanese names.

Japanese name, oh Japanese name
we all bought our Japanese names
Japanese name, oh Japanese name
we love you.

Now I'm not the original guy
with a Japanese name
but sometimes I can't shake this feeling
or get my head out this drain
now i don't care if you like Japanese stuff
this buffet sushi is pretty good
but every time i tell the waiters my name
I get misunderstood.

Japanese name, oh Japanese name
i don't have a Japanese
Japanese name, oh Japanese name
what a mysterious name.
