Tokyo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby's got a lot of baggage
It don't seem to matter, it don't seem to matter
Bought a ticket to the mid-west, just for business
But dismissed it from the interest
It was a risk just for a mistress
Who was a hostess on the West Coast
Don't you see it in my eyes tonight?
Baby's got a lot of baggage
[Chorus]
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rock'n'roll
[Verse 2]
Get that dynamite
Chick-a-boom on the town tonight
I never seem to get it right
But you can show me so politely
Now don't you see it in my eyes tonight?
Get that dynamite
[Chorus]
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rock'n'roll
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, I come back to where you are
Hey, I come back to where you are
Get that dynamite
[Chorus]
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rock'n'roll
Where do I have to go
To find a honey with a little soul?
Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go
Oh, it's nice to meet you
Kimi tanoshimu
Tokyo, Tokyo, pay in the palms of the rock'n'roll
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, I come back to where you are
Hey, I come back to where you are
[Outro]
To-okyo, To-okyo

Is there another version of this song?
Seemingly the first time it was performed live, the lyrics were yet to be finalized so a few lines differed. Most notably, the chorus was more repetitive, singing “Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo” rather than “Tokyo, Tokyo, turn out the lights and let it go.”
Is there an official music video?
The official music video (below) is often confused for a fan-made music video due to its homemade aesthetic. The band reached out to friends and family for videos of them dancing, combining into one video.
