I Love Your Sushi
Daphne & Celeste Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you all about, the other night
When we were hanging out, at the sumo fight
I was told these guys were warrior fighters
Then how come there still wearing diapers.

How many doughnuts do you get through in a day
Just to keep you looking that way
Your riding the road to self destruction
Hey mister you need liposuction

Teriaki makes me happy
Give it up for Celeste and Daphne
Teriaki makes me happy
Well that's what he said his name was
Ohhh

[Chorus]
I love your sushi
Daphne and Celeste east meets west
I love your sushi
Were telling you Japan is cool

I thought I'd let you know, that it was hard to go
Away from home alone right here in Tokyo
But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
And I think its time to make our Japanese debut

It's customary here to take the shoes off your feet
And you cross your legs on the floor when you eat
This is no wise crack but when you hit the sack
These futons are like rock, and there breaking my back

Teriaki makes me happy
Give it up for Celeste and Daphne
Teriaki makes me happy
Well that's what he said his name was

[Chorus]

You love sci-fi, bonsai, stir fry
I love Jerry on my T.V.
You love Eastwood cowboy movies
Howdy doody I love sushi

You love rocking, rolling, bowling
I love Jerry on my T.V.
You love nodles yankie doodles
Howdy doody I love sushi

I love your sushi
Got me a Koto in Kumumoto
Traded it for an Elvis photo
I love your sushi

Karaoked almost every night
I knocked them dead with the voice
(yeah right)





[Chorus: x2]
