Lyrics

Now once I was happy, I had a dear wife, I had enough yen to last me for life, I met with a josan, we went on a spree, She started me smokin’ and drinking sake.

CHORUS: Cigarettes and sake and wild, wild josans, They’ll drive you crazy, they’ll drive you insane, Cigarettes, and sake and wild, wild josans, They’ll drive you crazy, they’ll drive you insane.

I got into bed then, some sleep for to get, She said, “No sleep, flyboy, I no tired yet,” Well, I woke the next morning, a quarter past ten, I was missing my wallet and ten thousand yen.

Now back in Chitose, I’m limping about, Me and the doctor are sweating it out, He gave me some pills from a jug on the shelf, Then he poured out a dozen or two for himself.
