(Singing start at B)
Seventh of Sep--tem--ber remem--ber when,
we met at the shrine, your kimono looked so fine.
Temple dancers sway--ing, flutes play--ing then,
I was yours and you were mine. ?
Chorus: Paul Desmond on the stereo
We sipped the sake very slow
Kissing in the candle--glow
That rainy night in Tokyo
Tokyo! Tokyo! Tokyo! Tokyo!
We both got so hungry on the bullet train
Lugging our luggage through the station
Finding a taxi in the pouring rain
We must have made quite a sight In love on a rainy night
And due for a little cele--bration E, F#, G#, A, B, C# + intro
Safe from stormy wea--ther, toge--ther we,
stayed inside our room, just admiring the typhoon.
Heard the cats a--rrive at, nearly five but we,
were still making love in tune. ? Chorus
