[Verse 1]
Long long ago in a land far away
A little boy and a girl we're so in love
Standing 'neath the moon above
He said

[Chorus]
Me Japanese boy I love you
I do, love you
You Japanese girl you love me
Please say you do

[Verse 2]
He carved their names on an old cherry tree
Just like they've done in Japan since time began
Then he gently held her hand
And said

[Chorus]
Me Japanese boy I love you
I do, love you
You Japanesе girl you love me
Pleasе say you do

[Bridge]
In a blue and white kimono
She became his happy bride
From that day until, this very moment
She's been standing by his side
[Verse 3]
Now they are old and from what I am told
They're still in love, just as much as they once we're
Every night he kisses her, and says

[Chorus]
Me Japanese boy I love you
I do, love you
That is the way that it should be
When love is true

[Outro]
That is the way that it should be, for me
And you
