[Intro]
The traveler wants to see the city as it is
The ways of its day-to-day lives
A hidden gem, a nice surprise, priceless value

[Verse]
Well, I think you've all taken time
To check the latest PR online, it has its moments
Plenty of touristy east-side locales
But the crowds get big, move slow
So go on to the western side
To see where we artists spend our time
I've got an idea
Coffee from this stellar convenience store with a "7" on the sign
The connoisseur takes raw egg on rice
Olive oil, oyster soy sauce
We're much more than our cars and bikes
Musical instruments made with care
Jazz is the king here
Jazzmen are moving to some other sound
To reveal the Tokyo feel
This swing you've been hearing

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
By all means, buy and take home
Sugar from the north, salt from the south
Have you noticed the cat is back
So many of us we live with cats
To say that we're not pious is more than a bit of a stretch
'Cause the cat has Buddha's face
[Interlude]
We're good at sports like baseball and boxing
Skateboarding yet play is banned everywhere
Big-wigs get it all wrong

[Outro]
I'll recommend a souvenir
That gives you a little taste of here
The modal jazz feel
Get all decked out, give a toast, spread the love
At the jellyfish
Get stunned
