I remember when I-class was young Me and I-class had so much fun Holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold piano, and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got Was doing a thing called the IJN Rock While the other ships were rocking 'round the clock We were hopping and bopping to the IJN Rock, well
IJN rocking is something shocking When your feet just can't keep still I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will Oh, mama those Friday nights When Asashio wore her dresses tight And IJN rocking was out of sight
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain Too much love drives a ship insane You broke my will, but what a thrill Goodness gracious, Asashio is on fire
Tutti frutti, oh rootie Tutti frutti, oh rootie Tutti frutti, oh rootie Tutti frutti, oh rootie Tutti frutti, oh rootie A wop bop a loo bop a lop ba ba
I got a gal, named Asashio, she knows just what to do I got a gal, named Asashio, she knows just what to do She sails to the East, she sails to the West But she's the gal that I love best
