Lyrics
Hunting in the sea of japan Ambrose left the tourist trail behind him So bold with his gun in his hand Of his furs there was no need to remind him
Tripping over a holy man Mind that here you don't choose your friends Ambrose asked for a helping hand He heaved his chest, and pointed west To where the river runs
With josie back home on his mind Brushing off the fruit flies of the season And 'brosie was surely struck blind By a sight that defies human reason:
On an island of gleaming rock Jutting up from the blue lagoon A ceremonial music box And from it flowed, a bright new mode That made our hero swoon A finer minor from china
The world when the traveler returned As you know played out its bloody romances But ambrose he knew what he'd learned With his prize in hand he took his chances
Soon the sound that delights the ear Blended in with the armies' roar When the warriors strained to hear This new bebop, this shooting star Their guns were bullet-full A finer minor from china A finer minor from china A finer minor from china
