Lyrics
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down

Helpless people on subway trains Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he’s got to go Go go Godzilla, yeah Oh no, there goes Tokyo Go go Godzilla, yeah

Oh no, they say he’s got to go Go go Godzilla, yeah Oh no, there goes Tokyo Go go Godzilla, yeah

Godzilla! Godzilla! Rinji news o moshiagemasu! Rinji news o moshiagemasu! Godzilla ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu! Daishikyu hinan shite kudasai! Daishikyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say he’s got to go Go go Godzilla, yeah Oh no, there goes Tokyo Go go Godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again How nature points up the folly of man Godzilla!

History shows again and again How nature points up the folly of man Godzilla!

History shows again and again How nature points up the folly of man Godzilla!

History shows again and again How nature points up the folly of man Godzilla!
