Verse:
In a garden in Japan, I met a little girl called Ti-O-San.
I learned to love her in an Oriental way, This girl from old Japan.
In this garden by the yellow sea, I can see her sipping tea,
And know she's waiting patiently for me, This pretty little Japanee.
 
Chorus:
Ti-O-San
Of Japan.
My heart is calling,
Night and day.
Southern seas,
Bring memories.
I'm going back to my,
Ti-O-San.
