Verse:

In a gard-en in Jap-an, I met a lit-tle girl called Ti-O-San.

I learned to love her in an O-ri-ent-al way, This girl from old Jap-an.

In this gard-en by the yel-low sea, I can see her sip-ping tea,

And know she's wait-ing pa-tient-ly for me, This pret-ty lit-tle Jap-a-nee.

 

Chorus:

Ti-O-San

Of Jap-an.

My heart is call-ing

Night and day.

South-ern seas

Bring mem-o-ries.

I'm go-ing back to my

Ti-O-San.
