Late last night I got an S. O. S.    The fairy tale girl's in deep distress    She says I don't know where I am    But it's near Japan       My engine's all burned out    My crew has all bailed out    I don't know where I am    But it's somewhere near Japan       And she said    "Rescue me"    I'm somewhere in the    China Sea    I think I'm sinkin' fast    This call is probably my last    I'm throwin' out a life line    And I'm doin' it for old time's sake    Though I know you're gonna break my heart    One more time       Late last night I got an S. O. S.    The fairy tale girl's in deep in distress    She says I don't know where I am    But it's near Japan       My engine's all burned out    My crew has all bailed out    I don't know where I am    But it's somewhere near Japan       And she said "thank you dear"    I think she sounded quite sincere    And when she turned to go    She said "I crave adventure don't you know"       And now she's driftin' on some Chinese junk    Her world is spinning and her hope has sunk    So I close my eyes    And somewhere near Japan    The spinning stopped and the world stood still    I broke her fall and I always will    Strung out in no man's land    Somewhere near Japan    Rescue me
