Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl`s in deep in distress
She says I don`t know where I am
But it`s near Japan
My engine`s all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don`t know where I am
But it`s somewhere near Japan
And she said
Rescue me
I`m somewhere in the
China Sea
I think I`m sinkin` fast
This call is probably my last
I`m throwin` out a life line
And I`m doin` it for old time`s sake
Though I know you`re gonna break my heart
One more time
Late last night I got an S. O. S.
The fairy tale girl`s in deep in distress
She says I don`t know where I am
But it`s near Japan
My engine`s all burned out
My crew has all bailed out
I don`t know where I am
But it`s somewhere near Japan
And she said thank you dear
I think she sounded quite sincere
And when she turned to go
She said I crave adventure don`t you know
And now she`s driftin` on some Chinese junk
Her world is spinning and her hope has sunk
So I close my eyes
And somewhere near Japan
The spinning stopped and the world stood still
I broke her fall and I always will
Strung out in no man`s land
Somewhere near Japan
Rescue me
