"Ranma Nibunnoichi"

         by Shunsuke Ichikawa

(sung to the tune of "Stranger Than Fiction" by Bad Religion)


A tomboy's shocking violent smack
     and the student's are waiting for Kuno's attack
Tonight Nabiki is watching
Kodachi's conspiring
     and Soun Tendo can't stop crying

When Ranma flies high above the world when he's punched because
     of his stupidity
I see Ryouga threaten homicide
     Nodoka promise suicide
And Okonomiyaki flipping as Tsubasa's in disguise

A cat is scratching at his door
Happi steals panties by the score
If you eat Akane's cooking, write your obituary

         Shampoo laughs, Cologne plans a trap,
         How many weapons has Mousse fit in a cloth wrap?
         Jusenkyo made the Shampoo cat,
         When I watched "Ranma Nibunnoichi"

At Furinkan in Nerima
There's Hinako with a coin
And a palm tree-headed Koucho cutting hair "short, sides and back"
Hiroshi and Daisuke asking Ranma if he and Akane really "did it"
And a pack of lovestruck boys attacking his fiance every minute

A cat is scratching at his door
Happi steals panties by the score
If you eat Akane's cooking, write your obituary

         Scared of a cat, Tarou fights back,
         How many martial artists can fight in a match?
         I want to know why the Phoenix bird hatched,
         So I watch "Ranma Nibunnoichi"

Manga is the funniest stuff I ever read,
It isn't a book
Just a lotta cheap laughs,
Ranma 1/2,
The best "chara" Takahashi has ever dreamed up!

Yes, I love "Ranma Nibunnoichi"!
