I’m a cranky old yank in a clanky old tank (Hoagy Carmichael)
I'm a cranky old Yank in a clanky old tank, I'm headin' for a hullabaloo.
I'll be ridin' my tank through a Tokyo bank, sure as I'm an Army buckaroo.
And when I set my khaki down in old Nagasaki,
I'll be singin' like a wacky jackaroo.
And you can bet, by cracky,
every sukiyaki lackey will be lookin' mighty tacky when I do.
I'm a cranky old Yank in a clanky old tank, I'm headin' for a hullabaloo.
I'll be riding my swank little hanky-panky tank through the streets of Yokohama with a Honolulu mama –
singin' those beat-o, flat on his seat-o,
Hirohito blues (some blues!).
