Have you heard of old man Joe? He was born in Cajun land He walks with a cane in hand But he plays a mean banjo Now he lives in Kyoto For his wife is Japanese See her fingers dance with ease Playing notes on the koto Friends from Spain come by for tea And they all play the guitar Yes, the boy is quite bizarre But he sings so beautifully There's a woman you can see In a pure white kimono Obi tied up in a bow Strumming on her bouzouki Let me tell you about Yoshi Fingers dancing on the harp Has a pond of swimming carp Just don't say the word "sushi" Gave a concert, oh so zen And just as they stood and bowed Three notes lifted from the crowd Played upon a shamisen In attendance you could see Buddha statues made of bronze Buddhist monks in their sarongs Meditating silently Then, for hours not a sigh Not one single note was heard Not one single whispered word Will it be like this all night? At the final midnight gong From the forest comes a cry It's an owl perched up high Hoo-hoo-hooting all night long Then a mouse came out to see Stood on stage and gave a bow All the Buddhist monks applaud Buddhas smiling happily
