Various Artists - Pearl Harbor Blues - Doctor Clayton Lyrics
<Slow tempo w/ piano intro>December the sevenNineteen hundred and forty-oneOn December the sevenNineteen hundred and forty-oneThe Japanese flew over Pearl HarborDroppin' bombs by the tonThe Japanese is so ungratefulJust like a stray dog on the streetYes, the Japanese is ungratefulLike a stray dog on the streetWell, he'll bite the hand that feeds himSoon as he get enough to eatSome say the Japanese is hard fightersBut any dummy ought to knowSome said the Japanese is hard fightersBut any dummy ought to knowEven a rattlesnake won't bite you in your backHe will warn you before he strikes his blowI turned on my radioAnd I heard Mr. Roosevelt sayI turned on my radioAnd I heard Mr. Roosevelt sayWe wanted to stay out of Europe an AsiaBut now, we all got a debt to payWe even sold the JapaneseBrass an scrap ironAn it makes my blood boil in the veinWe even sold the JapaneseBrass an scrap ironAn it makes my blood boil in the vein'Cause they made bombs and shellsOut of itAnd they dropped them on Pearl HarborJust like rain.~
