I’ve been to Nagasaki Hiroshima too the same I did to them baby I can do to you
Cause I’m a Fujiyama mama and I’m just about to blow my top
Fujiyama-yama Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain’t nobody gonna make me stop
I drink a quart of sakey smoke dynamite
I chase it with tobaccy and then shoot out the light
Cause I’m a Fujiyama mama…
Well you can talk about me say that I’m mean
I’ll blow your head off baby with nitroglycerine
Cause I’m a Fujiyama mama…
Well you can say I’m crazy stone deaf and dumb
But I can cause destruction just like the atom bomb
Cause I’m a Fujiyama mama…
I drink a quart of sakey…
Lol.. Guys, the song is not about dropping a nuke on Japan. Mount Fujiyama is a vulcano. She's singing about going off on people who piss her off. 'If you piss me off, I'll explode like a volcano and mess you up bad.' This is the ultimate 'fuck off' song. It's really the very first punk song!
i drink a quart of sake, smoke dynomite. i chase it with tabaccy and than shoot out the light, cuz im a fujiyama mama and im just about to blow my top!!!
Undoubtedly the best of the Rockabilly Gals of any era. She was also easy on the eyes, and had a hell of a guitarist by the name of Joe Maphis, backing her up.
I find it so interesting that this was actually a huge hit in Japan when it was released. She toured there because of its success. Considering the lyrics, it's a real head-scratcher.
My favorite was when this was playing in the background when Joan Jett visits the leather shop in the movie the Runaways.....
The leather heads running the shop were listening to Wanda Jackson...so appropriate.
