Ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba
[Verse 1]
Green eyes, fried rice, I could cook an egg on you
Late night, game time, coffee on the stove, yeah (Oh)
You're sweet ice cream, but you could use a Flake or two
Blue bubblegum twisted 'round your tongue
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want you to get lost
I don't want you to go broke
I want you
[Interlude]
It's 'cause I love you, babe
In every kind of way
Just a little taste
You know I love you, babe
[Chorus]
Ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba
(You know I love you, babe)
Ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba
"Excuse me, a green tea?"
Music for a sushi restaurant
From ice on rice
Scuba-duba-dubub-boo (Oh)
Music for a sushi restaurant
Music for a sushi restaurant
Music for whatever you want
Scuba-duba-dubub-boo (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not going to get lost
I'm not going to go broke
Staying cool
(You know I love you, babe)
[Chorus]
Ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba
(You know I love you, babe)
Ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba
[Bridge]
(Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba)
If the stars were edible
And our hearts were never full
(Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba)
Could we live with just a taste?
Just a taste
Ba, ba-ba (It's 'cause I love you, babe)
(In every kind of way)
Ba-ba (Just a little taste)
(You know I love you, babe)
[Chorus]
Ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba
(You know I love you, babe)
Ba, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba
About
“Music for a Sushi Restaurant” is the opening song to Harry Styles' third studio album, Harry’s House. Mingling smooth jazz and funky ‘70s pop, Styles sings about making sushi while relating it to his desire for a relationship.
In a May 2022 interview with NPR, the British singer revealed the story behind the freaky song:
I was in a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles with my producer and one of our songs came on from the last album, and I kind of said, like, “This is really strange music for a sushi restaurant.”
Before adding that it was in the running to be the name of the album.
I was like, that would be a really fun album title, but then as the song started being made I kind of just set on “Music for a Sushi Restaurant.”

After Fine Line, I had an idea of how I thought the next album would open. But there’s something about ‘Sushi’ that felt like, ‘Nah, that’s how I want to start.’ It becomes really obvious what the first song should be based on what you play for people when they’re like, ‘Oh, can I hear a bit of the music?’ It’s like, how do you want to set the tone?
The song debuted at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, the week ending June 4, 2022.
