Lyrics The Tokyo Blues - Dee Dee Bridgewater

Walkin' down the Ginza
I heard someone blowin' a cadenza.
They were playin' bebop
And people were drinkin' up some booze.
Well the music hit me
As hard as a case of influenza.
I'm so glad because they played THE TOKYO BLUES.

I'll take teriyaki.
Please pass me another glass of sake.
Japanese people
Love music and jazz is what they choose.
Well I've got to go now,
I'll miss all that good old sukiyaki.
I'm so sad because I got THE TOKYO BLUES.
