I was a - was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it.
Taught how to take off but don't know how to land.
They say it doesn't matter and I just cannot understand.
I was a kamikaze pilot,
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home.
Left my happy homeland in a Zero,
got engine trouble so I couldn't be a hero
(But do you think I care?).
Now I'll keep my two feet on the ground
'Cos when you're in the clouds
Everybody's always tryin' to shoot you down
I was a kamikaze pilot,
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home
On an island there ain't too much to do
Look after number one because I think I can see
Lee Marvin chasin' after you.
Shake me - wake me - tell me when it's over
I've been waiting 40 years - can't wait a minute longer no!
No no no no no not for you
I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane - I couldn't fly it home (x3).
I was a - was a kamikaze - Ooh-oh ooh-oh ooh
I was (i was) i was (i was) i was, (i was a) - Ooh-oh ooh-oh ooh - Ooh-oh ooh-oh ooh
Cherry blossoms falling down (x4).
