Lyrics

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

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

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

We’re good at sports like baseball and boxing,
Skateboarding, yet play is banned everywhere
Big-wigs get it all wrong

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
