Lyrics

Sayonara, don't stop, can't do it Sayonara, don't stop Say - Say - Say Sayonara, sayonara, sayonara, sayonara Comment ça va, Japan? You're looking better all the time Comment ça va, Japan? A million geishas in the night Who can say why nothing ever seems to change? Comment ça va, Japan? I love you even if you're strange Chorus: Sayonara, don't stop Sayonara, don't stop Sayonara, don't stop Sayonara, sayonara, come on Say-Sayonara Say-Sayonara Who can say why nothing ever seems to change? Comment ça va, Japan? I love you even if you're strange Chorus You and me, and walking so free Nothing ever share apart You and me, and now I can see You got an oriental heart! Don't stop Do'don't stop Don't stop Do'don't stop Who can say why nothing ever seems to change? Comment ça va, Japan? I love you even if you're strange Chorus You and me, and walking so free Nothing ever share apart You and me, and now I can see You got an oriental heart!
