John Entwistle - Made In Japan lyrics

(J. Entwistle)

Track Music, Inc.

I went down to my tailor, to get myself a suit, and to measure

It's been a long long time since I looked like a gentlemen of leisure

He spent an awful lot of time on my inside leg

You don't get that kind of treatment when you buy stuff of the peg

When I finally picked it up and saw the label inside

I saw a sight that made my mouth gape open wide.

It said made in Japan

Made in Japan

*There* ain't nothing made here in this country anymore

Try the made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore

Made in Japan

I went along to the showroom to buy myself a secondhand car

I didn't have much money so I knew I wouldn't get very far

The salesman said " how much do intend to spend,

you only get what you pay for, in the end"

He said "you can't afford a Bentley or a Cadillac

But take a look at this motor I've got out back.

It said made in Japan

Made in Japan

Their ain't nothing made here in this country anymore

Try the made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore

Made in Japan

Me and my girl last week we went to church and got wed

I didn't *buy the car* so I decided I'd get married instead

We went to Miami for the honeymoon

I couldn't wait to get her in the hotel room

But when she came out of the bathroom,

My knees turned to jelly

Well I saw what she had tattooed just below her belly.

It said made in Japan

Made in Japan

Their ain't nothing made here in this country anymore

Try the made in Japan, Hong Kong or Singapore

Made in Japan
