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...
