Yellow Peril lyrics

Hunting in the Sea of Japan
Ambrose left the Taurus trail behind him
So bold with his gun in his hand
Of his fuzz 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 ran

With Josie back home on his mind
Brushing off the fruit flies of the season
Ambrose was surely struck blind
With 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 blue note
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 movie bop
The shooting stopped, their guns were butted for

A finer minor from China
A finer minor from China
A finer minor from China

Steely Dan - Yellow Peril: 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. (video from YouTube)
