Had some friends that went across the sea
Came back with a nickel for me
They said, "There's a place where they still know
There's a place where they still know how to rock'n'roll
How to rock'n'roll."

They said, "Tokyo."
They said, "Tokyo."
T-O-K-Y-O
T-O-K-Y-O
There's a place where they still know
How to rock
How to rock'n'roll
How to rock'n'roll
I'm talking Tokyo gold!
I'm talking Tokyo gold!
I'm talking R-O-C-K
I'm talking R-O-L-L
I'm talking rock'n'roll.
Owww!

I'm talking Tokyo
I'm talking Tokyo
I'm talking Tokyo, Tokyo gold
I'm talking T-O
I'm talking T-O-K-Y-O
I'm talking R-O-C-K R-O-L-L
I'm talking Tokyo rock'n'roll
I'm talking Tokyo gold
I'm talking Tokyo gold.

I've been all over this country
And I've seen a lot of faces
I seen a lot of people
Forgot
What it really means
They don't know
Don't know what it really means
to R-O-C-K R-O-L-L
I'm talking rock'n'roll
But there's a place
There's a place where they still know

T-O-K-Y-O
T-O-K-Y-O
Said I'm going to go
I said I've got to go
I gotta go where they still know
I gotta go where they still know
What it means to rock
What it means to rock and roll!
