Lyrics:
"Shamisen Degen!"
Shamisen Degen!
Shamisen Degen!
Shamisen Degen!
I see a man with Bread for a head
He looks kinda silly
But when he flexes his legs
I feel
the worst banjo player I've ever heard
That's not a banjo, Alvin
That's a shamisen
That's the worst shamisen player I've ever heard
Do they have any
Kaze ga fuku to
Okeya ga mookaru
Kaze ga fuku to chiri ga (noboru)
Hokori wa (hitotachi - o moujin ni naru)
Moujin wa shamisen o yoku hikeru
Demo
Of a shamisen
Waited with sorrow
Beyond the end
So wretched
These tones
She weeps
Alone
She waits eternal
For her lord
Who met his end
By the sword
The solemn
shamisen
For someone
Or something you never had
She holds a secret
Sealed in lips
Red blood on snow
She is a secret
Behind walls
Of Kyoto
She holds
can explain what you're doing babe
Somehow
Spell it out for me while you play your shamisen
All night long
I dwelled in infamy when you said you were
I want you to go but I ask you to stay
Take me to Little Tokyo
The underground mall and the shamisen show
One place left to go, keep my mind off
myself
To no one I will tell
Goodbye, so long
I will play the Shamisen
And I will be so sad
For all I've done
We may never speak again
I hope you're doing
The gate is shut, the canon blocked
The flower they fire at one o'clock half-cocked
The tower flops, the blossom drops
The king will play the shamisen
a shamisen
My jajanken is hereby undefeated, which is pretty strange
Cause I'm not the best at math and I had to drop AP Statistics
I've had the same Christmas
Elia Atahualpa - guitar, bass guitar, drums, mandolin, flute, recorder, bass shamisen
Anna Al Contrario - voice

This is
and I'm just rolling on
Shamisen!
There's no sense in goading or putting me on
I'm a man of my word and I'm just rolling on
For just a while I was a king
χέρια τους σφιγμένα
Σε στάση ετοιμότητας με κεφάλια σκυμμένα
Το shamisen δεν παίζει γιατί έσπασε η πένα
Σε καρφώνουνε τα μάτια μου και τρέμεις απ'το φόβο
Elia Atahualpa - voice, bass shamisen, tempo-keep-tar
Vincenzo Orsini - audio engineer
way-oh
Oblivion, way-oh-oh-oh
Oblivion, way-oh
Oblivion, way-oh-oh-oh
Steady grooving to this interstellar shamisen, we flow
Babel station passing by onto
haigo
Shamisen to taiko
Old school shu hai
To new school jidai
Nihon no sumai
To US no mukai
Iika choshi impact okii
Ladies homies till the whole world
TAKATANTAN!!!
SWEET SOUND OF THE SHAMISEN
TSUGARU STYLE IF YOU KNOW
WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE
IF THE WHOLE WORLD GOT ALONG
EVEN ON A SMALL
TAKATANTAN!!!
SWEET SOUND OF THE SHAMISEN
TSUGARU STYLE IF YOU KNOW
WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE
IF THE WHOLE WORLD GOT ALONG
EVEN ON A SMALL
my little friend
(SHAMONSTERS) At least it's not booze, it's just his shamisen
When I get stuck, my courage I pluck
Lucky for you, I'm all out of puns!
life's not measured in length
Solo: Gary
Solo: Mike Pimentel
Solo: Gary (shamisen)
A misty placid town
Becomes a town of death
Blood will soak the ground
TAKATANTAN!!!
SWEET SOUND OF THE SHAMISEN
TSUGARU STYLE IF YOU KNOW
WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE
IF THE WHOLE WORLD GOT ALONG
EVEN ON A SMALL
TAKATANTAN!!!
SWEET SOUND OF THE SHAMISEN
TSUGARU STYLE IF YOU KNOW
WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE
IF THE WHOLE WORLD GOT ALONG
EVEN ON A SMALL
zen
And just as they stood and bowed
Three notes lifted from the crowd
Played upon a shamisen
In attendance you could see
Buddha statues made
