Hunting in the sea of Japan Ambrose left a tourist trail behind him So bold whit his gun in his hand Of his buzz there was no need to remind him Tripping over a holy man Might not hear you don't chose your friends Ambrose asked for a helping hand He heaved his chest and pointed west To where the river ends With Josie back home on his mind Brushing of the fruitflies of the season Ambrose he was surely struck blind With the sight that defies human reason On an island of gleaming rocks Jutting up from the blue lagoon A ceremonial musicbox From it flows a bright new merm' That made our hero swoon A finer Miner from China A finer Miner from China The world when the traveler returned As you know played out it's bloody romances But Ambrose he knew what he'd learned With his bride in hand he took his chances Soon the sound that delights the ear Blended in with the army's roar When the warrior is strained to hear This new bebop, the shooting stopped Their guns were garded for [Chorus]
