Lyrics

Come with us, come with us
To a place you've never seen
That is far, far away
It's the land of your dreams
You will see, you will see
Where the dragons fly
And the beautiful geisha sings so high

La la la it's a fairytale
She will swing her fan and dance the night away
She will climb so high to the Mt. Fuji sky
And will sing her heart out
"Where's my samurai?"

Somewhere deep inside there's a place
For you and me, where we can find our dream
Somewhere deep inside you and me
A geisha sings and plays her melody

Follow us, follow us 
In this geisha's dream we must 
Sing along with her dance 
And her melody and song 
Hear her sing and dance
In her kimono 
When her fingers are playing the harp and koto
 
La la la it's a fairytale
She will swing her fan and dance the night away
She will climb so high to the Mt. Fuji sky
And will sing her heart out
"Where's my samurai?"
