Japari Pie

Japari Pie (The Day the Sugoi Died)

By Anonymous

Sung to the tune of American Pie by Don McLean

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how tanoshii used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those penguins dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But September made me shiver
With every bun I'd deliver
Bad news on the savannah
It was the end of our nirvana

I can't remember if I cried
When I heard that he was pushed aside
Something touched me deep inside
The day the sugoi died

So, bye bye Miss Japari Pie
Packed my bag with my Jag, but she didn’t know why
Them good ol' Friends along with Fennec and Arai, singing...
This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you see the Friends we love
And watched them from up above?
‘Cause the Sandstar made them so
Now do you believe in creative control?
Can tanoshii save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to make a show?

Well, I know he’s in love with you
'Cause I saw you at the Tobu Zoo
He had the best time of his life
With his cute 2D wife

He was a flightless bird without a flock
With a purple armband and a big ol’rock
But he saw his time upon the clock
The day the sugoi died

He started singing, bye bye Miss Japari Pie
Packed my bag with my Jag, but she didn’t know why
Them good ol' Friends along with Fennec and Arai, singing...
This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Now, right here we are all alone
While fat cats suck out its soul,
But that's not how it used to be
When the Friends came on the scene
In a bus with a little blue machine
And a voice that came from you and minmi

Oh, and while Moose was looking down
The Ceruleans stole her crown
Negotiations were adjourned
No verdict was returned

And while Wolf made a little lark
The penguins practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the sugoi died

We were singing, bye bye Miss Japari Pie
Packed my bag with my Jag, but she didn’t know why
Them good ol' Friends along with Fennec and Arai, singing...
This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Hurry, scurry in a winter flurry
The Owls flew off still eating curry
Bird Friends flying high and fast
Saw the café sign on the grass
They decided to give the tea a pass
With Alpaca on the summit looking downcast

Now the mountain air was sweet perfume
While Toki sang out of tune
We all got in the boat
Oh, but we never got to float

Dolphin tried to take the field
The Ceruleans refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the sugoi died?

We started singing, bye bye Miss Japari Pie
Packed my bag with my Jag, but she didn’t know why
Them good ol' Friends along with Fennec and Arai, singing...
This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

And, there we were all in one place
There was only bad news to face
With no time left to start again
So, come on, Bag be nimble, Bag be quick
Kaban lit up a paper stick
'Cause fire is BigDog’s only friend

And, as I read the news upon the page
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
Not even Moose’s yell
Could break Kadokawa’s spell

When she held that torch alight
To make a sacrifice that night
I saw BigDog laughing with delight
The day the sugoi died

He was singing, bye bye Miss Japari Pie
Packed my bag with my Jag, but she didn’t know why
Them good ol' Friends along with Fennec and Arai, singing...
This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

I met a bird who searched for Friends
And I asked her how it would end
But she just smiled and turned away
I went to watch the sacred show
Where I'd had tanoshii years before
But the Otter said she didn’t want to play

And in the park, the Aardwolf screamed
The Foxes cried, and the Sand Cat dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The Bosses all were broken

And the three girls I admire most:
Kaban, Serval and Mirai’s ghost
They caught the last boat for the coast
The day the sugoi died

And, they were singing, bye bye Miss Japari Pie
Packed my bag with my Jag, but she didn’t know why
Them good ol' Friends along with Fennec and Arai, singing...
This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

They were singing, bye bye Miss Japari Pie
Packed my bag with my Jag, but she didn’t know why
Them good ol' Friends along with Fennec and Arai, singing...
This'll be the day that I die
