Lyrics:

Blue-Eyed DollAoi me o shita oningyo wa
Amerika umare no seruroido
Translation:

Blue-eyed doll from America,
born of celluloid plastic
.
Nihon no minato ni tsuita toki
Ippai namida o ukabeteta
When she arrived at a harbor in Japan,
her eyes were watering with tears.
Watashi wa kotoba ga wakaranai
Maigo ni nattara nantoshoo
I do not know the language of this
country. What if I become lost?
Yasashii nihon no joochan yo
Nakayoku asonde yattokure
Nakayoku asonde yattokure
 
Nice little Japanese girls, please
do me a favor: Play with me, and
we shall become friends.
