Dr. Clayton - Pearl Harbor Blues Lyrics

December the seventh, nineteen hundred and forty one
On December the seventh, nineteen hundred and forty one
The Japanese flew over Pearl Harbor, dropping bombs by the ton

This Japanese is so ungrateful, just like a stray dog on the street
Yes the Japanese is ungrateful, just like a stray dog on the street
Well he bite the hand that feeds 'm, soon as he get enough to feed

Some say the Japanese is hard fighters, but any dummy ought to know
Some say the Japanese is hard fighters, but any dummy ought to know
Even a rattlesnake won't bite you in your back, he will warn you before he strikes his blow

I turned on my radio and I heard mister Roosevelt say
I turned on my radio and I heard mister Roosevelt say
We wanted to stay out of Europe and Asia, but now we all got a debt to pay

We even sold the Japanese brass and scrap iron, and it makes my blood boil in the vein
We sold the Japanese brass and scrap iron, and it makes my blood boil in the vein
Cause they made boms and shells out of it, and they dropped it on Pearl Harbor just like rain.
