Along the margin of the walk
A fanfare in chalk
The sway of a folding fan
Merchants in Japan
A carousel of gilt
A parasol's tilt
A sailboat, a swathe of silk
A moon as white as milk
Watch the lanterns dance
Watch the sandals prance
Hear the trilling strum
Heartbeat like a drum
The kneeling in the shrine
The bathing in the shine
The land of the sun is here
The bells you can hear
There's no place quite the same
Strolling down the lane
Strutting in the arcade
Adorned in brocade
Lurking about betwixt bamboo
The magic envelopes you
Takes you by the hand
Merchants in Japan
