I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you all 'round myself
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
I'm turning in I'm turning 'round
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all 'round myself
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up I'm turning down
I'm turning in I'm turning 'round
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone Ranger
Everyone...
That's why I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
[guitar]
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so, think so, think so
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so

Review about Turning Japanese Psycho maniac in Chokey | Reviewer: Mr Macawber | 9/22/2008
I always figured this was a song about a guy who's doing time and is missing his bird - hence the phrase:
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Although the "no drugs" bit doesn't apply to any nick I've ever been in! That's why everyone him around is a total stranger - he's just got hiself banged up for the first time.
And "Everyone avoids me like a cyclone Ranger". You avin a larf? It's Cyclo-maniac (as in psychomaniac)!
Quality music.
In actual fact. . . | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/30/2008
The rumor that this song is about masturbation is just that, a rumor. David Fenton would alternately confirm and deny the rumor, but he finally admitted that he just thought of the title when he woke up one morning and he views it as a love song. The phrase "turning Japanese" only became a euphemism for masturbation after the release of the song because of those rumors.
Regardless, it's a nice catchy tune, and probably the only thing the Vapors are remembered for now.
i saw an interview | Reviewer: jim beam | 1/29/2008
i saw an interview on VH1 and this song is about mastrabating. i know some people don't believe it, but look at the lyrics. its about beatin' your meat. waxing the turtle. choking your chicken. etc.. etc.. etc..
Perverts! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/28/2008
I'm pretty sure the phrase "Turning Japanese" refers to the fact that all he wants to to is take pics and carry around pics of his girlfriend like stereotypical Japanese tourists are always supposed to be carry around cameras and taking pics like mad, the song isn't perverted, just slightly racist... way to go The Vapors
katrina reeves is a moron | Reviewer: dug abtiny | 12/12/2007
this song is obviously about the japanese invading pearl habour, and the subsequent nuking of the whitehouse in 1872. the vapors were a rag time band, that reformed after there lead singer got back from serving for the brittish in the boar war.
Cyclone Ranger | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/12/2007
...everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger..." As in those people who go around chasing tornadoes...
Also, I seem to remember "no fun, no sin no you no wonder it's hard..." Did they re-record a cleaner radio version?
About the song. | Reviewer: Twinkie Boo! | 9/7/2007
I just love this song XD!! It's so adorable how he has to look forward to jacking off because he can't see his girl ;-; awwww! Well, still. I love the idea that if you jerk off your eyes get slanted XD!!! Well, I love this!
missing lyric | Reviewer: DJ Kuriketto | 7/28/2007
after "everyone around me is a total stranger" theres a lyric that goes "everyone ____ is a cyclone ranger",i think. what is it? and the song is about jerking it so stop asking already -_-
Uh hum | Reviewer: Erin | 6/23/2007
Miss Japan, it refers to how you screw your eyes up while, y'know, masturbating. ^^; Hope that helped!
Now I Know | Reviewer: Miss Japan | 5/30/2007
