She just jumped on a plane Paid no attention to me Gave me no notice But her goodbyes sure were sweet Said she's gonna write Maybe call me up She checked her bags And then she broke my heart She kissed my cheek And told me not to keep in touch
I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl I'm gonna catch a plane and steal her back again The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
Now we're apart I think about her everyday Well the scuffle of little feet All round the bed I'm gettin' no cards, gettin' no mail Tokyo Rose is on the radio If she don't come home I know that's where I'm gonna go
They're buying our beaches Sellin' transistors Them little folk look real big If they think that they can take her away I'm gonna steal her back again . . . Shake!
I said the Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl away The Rising Sun just stole my girl Gonna catch a plane and steal her back again The Rising Sun just stole my girl away
