lyrics

Youth For Understanding Japan

We are [3X]
youth for understanding Japan
We are youth for making five year plans
We are youth for irrigating more land
We are youth for understanding Japan Well I never really did care much for Japan
I never did like kimonos, or straw mats on the floor,
or sleeping in a paper room, or drinking all the tea in china Then one day my grandson came over, and he was wearing this
T-shirt that said "Youth For Understanding Japan" on it,
and I said, "Sonny boy, what the hell does that mean?",
and he looked at me and he said, "Gramps, basically it means- We are youth for understanding Japan [repeats]
How would you like to take a trip with me to Japan? [2X]
We are [4X]
youth for understanding Japan
Standing Japan [repeats] The bus [8X]
The bus is leaving in five minutes
