Lyrics
Verse:
I am a gaigin alone in the land,
Over in America we call it Japan,
I've studied and studied but I can't speak Japanese,
I'll never read those signs cause they're all in Kanji,
Oh , oh, oh,oh, doomo arigato,
Oh, oh, oh , oh,
Chorus:
Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Ohh oh oh
Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Ohh oh oh?
Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Wakarima-
Verse:
Roppongi, Shibuya, Harajuku,
Everywhere the people hand brochures to you,
Very pretty pictures but I can't read Japanese,
So don't waste your money giving flyers to me,
Oh, Oh, oh, ikura desu ka?
Oh, oh, oh ,oh
Chorus:
Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Ohh oh oh?
Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Ohh oh oh?
Wakarimasen, Wakarimasen, Wakarima-
-sen!
Bridge:
Please don't listen close to me, (close to me)
There are some that speak Japanese, (but not me)
They'd be mad if they don't get the flyer,
Compared to me their level's much, much higher. Oh!
