Lyrics

Her training began in the traditional way
on the 6th day of the 6th month of the 6th year
the apprentice began her destined career

Her life is lived as a fine art
she finds a rich patron and wins his heart
singing songs of long lost passion
she is dressed in high kimono fashion
strumming the strings of her shamisen
she hypnotizes with the rhythm of her drum
she inspires him, oriental cherubim

Geisha Girl
in a cherry blossom world
she lights his Hopes
he enters her world of floating dreams
they play make believe
he is redeemed
with his Geisha Girl

There's a subtle difference to her clothes
The back of her neck is beautifully exposed
it's so sexual, so very very sensual
in layered silk she entertains
conversation is her domain
is isn't beauty that matters
it's the way that she flatters
her face is a soft canvas painted white
like a beautiful Japanese water sprite
her mouth is a crimson covered berry
he gently takes a bite and he grows childishly merry

Geisha Girl
in a cherry blossom world
she lights his Hopes
he enters her world of floating dreams
they play make believe
he is redeemed
with his Geisha Girl
Perfect Miss Manners
lives by almanac planners
consults her astrologer
doesn't believe theologers
caters to his ego
nurtures his libido

Geisha Girl
in a cherry blossom world
she lights his Hopes
he enters her world of floating dreams
love is not what it seems
he is redeemed
with his Geisha Girl
Geisha Girl
brightens up his world
she's there to amuse, she's never confused
she paints his world a different color everyday
she knows what to say
she'll get her way
she's a geisha girl
