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

[Chorus]
He said
"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

[Chorus]
And said
"Me Japanese boy, I love you
I do love you
You Japanese girl, you love me
Please 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 were
Every night he kisses her

[Chorus]
And says
"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
