[Verse 1]
I'm walking down Roppongi, the night is hot and smoggy
I drink a little coffee, a sake and a beer
I run into a ginja man, he speaks but I don't understand
He grins at me and takes my hand and whispers in my ear
[Chorus]
I play Deji Pachi, I play Deji Pachi
I play Deji Pachi in my Pachinko dream
I go Uchi Domi, I go Uchi Domi
I go Uchi Domi in my Pachinko dream
[Verse 2]
My senses all asunder, I stand and stare in wonder
There's bright light and there's thunder in Pachinkoland
Well-versed in the way of Zen, my pockets lined full of yen
I walk the aisle and back again and sit at Domo's hand
[Chorus]
I play Deji Pachi, I play Deji Pachi
I play Deji Pachi in my Pachinko dream
I go Uchi Domi, I go Uchi Domi
I go Uchi Domi in my Pachinko dream
[Verse 3]
I'm on the Lexus Fever, my hand tight on the lever
I'm shrieking like a diva, staring in a trance
Turn the handle to the right, a stream of silver balls in flight
It screams and howls a blaze of light, the earth moves below me
I'm laughing tears of sheer delight as I go Uchi Domi
[Chorus]
I play Deji Pachi, I play Deji Pachi
I play Deji Pachi in my Pachinko dream
I go Uchi Domi, I go Uchi Domi
I go Uchi Domi in my Pachinko dream
