Version 1

(Riff 1)

          Dm Dm/F          Dm  Dm/F
I got the style but not the grace
I got the clothes, but not the face
I got the bread, but not the butter
I got the winda, but not the shutter

        Dm       Dm/F     Dm      Dm/F
But I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
But, hey I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

I got the house, but not the deed
I got the horn, but not the reed
I got the cards, but not the luck
I got the wheel, but not the truck
But, hey I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

Riff 2

          Gm               Dm
I got the moon, I got the cheese

          Gm                        Dm
I got the whole damn nation on its knees

          Gm                  Dm
I got the rooster, I got the crow

          E7              A
I got the ebb, I got the flow

(Riff 1)

I got the powder, but not the gun
I got the dog, but not the bun
I got the clouds, but not the sky
I got the stripes but not the tie
But, hey I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

(NC)

Heh-ho, they love the way I do it
Heh-ho, there's really nothin' to it

(Riff 2)

I got the moon, I got the cheese
I got the whole damn nation on its knees
I got the rooster, I got the crow
I got the ebb, I got the flow 

(Riff 1)

I got the sizzle, but not the steak
I got the boat, but not the lake
I got the sheets, but not the bed
I got the jam, but not the bread
But, hey I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan

Lyrics

I got the style but not the grace
I got the clothes but not the face
I got the bread but not the butter
I got the winda but not the shutter

But I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan But heh I'm big in Japan

I got the house but not the deed
I got the horn but not the reed
I got the cards but not the luck
I got the wheel but not the truck

But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan

I got the moon I got the cheese I got the whole damn nation
On its knees I got the rooster I got the crow
I got the ebb I got the flow

I got the powder but not the gun
I got the dog but not the bun
I got the clouds but not the sky
I got the stripes but not the tie

But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan

Heh ho they love the way I do it
Heh ho there's really nothing to it

I got the moon I got the cheese
I got the whole damn nation on their knees
I got the rooster I got the crow
I got the ebb I got the flow

I got the sizzle but not the steak
I got the boat but not the lake
I got the sheets but not the bed
I got the jam but not the bread

But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan
I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
