Fujiyama Mama
Jackson Wanda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been to Nagasaki
Hiroshima too
The same I did to them baby I can do to you
'Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop

I drink a quart of sake
Smoke dynamite
I chase it with tobaccy and then shoot out the light
'Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop

Well you can talk about me
Say that I'm mean
I'll blow your head off baby with nitroglycerine
'Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop

Well, you can say I'm crazy
Stone-deaf and dumb
But I can 'cause destruction just like the atom bomb
'Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop

I drink a quart of sake
Smoke dynamite
I chase it with tobaccy and then shoot out the light
'Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my top




Fujiyama-yama, Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna make me stop

@Trip_Fontaine

Even the Nazis didn't make fun songs about all the people they killed in the death camps, as Wanda Jackson made a fun song about people dying in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The USA is the sickest and most murderous country that ever existed.

​@@Trip_Fontaine Tell us all how you don't understand the song! It was a hit in Japan, too. 😊
