[Verse 1]
Okay, time for Sayonara
Go on, Yankee, break my heart
There's nothing left for us to say now
Even the best friends gotta part
[Verse 2]
I walked into the nearest bar
I sat and looked towards the sea
I wandered drunken down the beach
The waves just whispered misery
[Pre-Chorus]
She had a red, red scarf around her neck
Her eyes were green and her hair was black
She had a red, red scarf around her neck
Her eyes were green and her hair was black
[Chorus]
Ooh, she gave me Mekong whiskey
Ooh, she gave me Hong Kong flu
Ooh, she gave me Mekong whiskey
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
[Bridge]
Som-yat-zu, som-yat-zu
Som-yat-zu, som-yat-zu
[Verse 3]
I got new papers in a bordello
With some Luckies and my ID
My heart was pounding like a hammer
Thai, Thai, Thai, Thai, Thai, I am free
[Verse 4]
She kissed me softly on the lips
She took my hand without a sound
This was our happy ever after
So motherfucker, kiss the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
She had a red, red scarf around her neck
Her eyes were green and her hair was black
She had a red, red scarf around her neck
Her eyes were green and her hair was black
[Chorus]
Ooh, she gave me Mekong whiskey
Ooh, she gave me Hong Kong flu
Ooh, she gave me Mekong whiskey
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
[Chorus]
Ooh, she gave me Mekong whiskey
Ooh, she gave me Hong Kong flu
Ooh, she gave me Mekong whiskey
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
[Refrain]
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
Put me on a breeze to Katmandu
