[Rōmaji]
Tōkyō no chūsū wa marunouchi
Hibiya kōen ryōgiken
Iki na kamae no teigeki ni
Ikameshi yakata wa keishichō
Sho-kanshō zurari babasakimon
Kaijō birudingu tōkyōeki
Poppo to deru kisha doko e iku
Ramechan tara gitchonchon de
Pai no pai no pai
Pariko to panana de furai furai furai
Tōkyō de hanka na asakusa wa
Kaminarimon nakamise sensōji
Hatopoppo mame uru obāsan
Katsudō jūnikai hanayashiki
Sushi okoshi gyū tenpura
Nan da to kon chikishō de omawarisan
Suri ni kojiki ni kapparai
Ramechan tara gitchonchon de
Pai no pai no pai
Pariko to panana de furai furai furai
Tōkyō wa yoi toko omoshiroya
Tōfu misomame nattō okeya
Raoya ameya ni amazakeya
Nanairo tongarashi shiokaraya
Kuzūi kuzūi geta no haire
Anma nabeyaki chan shūmai
Uta no Yomiurya dou ja ina
Ramechan tara gitchonchon de
Pai no pai no pai
Pariko to panana de furai furai furai

「パイノパイノパイ」は、演歌師の添田知道（添田さつき）によって作詞され大正時代に流行した俗謡である。東京節（とうきょうぶし）ともいう。元々のメロディーは、ヘンリー・クレイ・ワーク作曲の「ジョージア行進曲」（Marching Through Georgia）である。

so glad I found your channel.

[@GamingGalore64]

One of my favorite classic Japanese songs!

[@sklaboratory1000]

The original melody, intriguingly, is Henry Clay Work's "Marching Through Georgia," which remarkably aligns perfectly with the Japanese lyrics.

Thank you very much

[@nonnon1649]

first time seeing some positive songs about tokyo
tokyo has image of spoiled, egoistic Edo since edo period

[@minerjirou]

I am Japanese.
The building with the lyrics "marine building" at 0:35 will be "kaijo building" as the singing voice.
Although it is in Japanese only, I will attach an article on wikipedia.
