a long long time ago
i can still remember
how those friends all used to make me smile
and i thought that if given time
that i could see them in their prime
and maybe we'd be happy for a while
but as spring turned to september
i would not rather not remember
bad news turned to rumor
tanoshikunai future
i can't remember if i cried
when friends alike were pushed aside
but something touched me deep inside
the day kemono died
so bye bye miss japari pie
took my chevy to the lake with fennec fox and arai
and good old girls were eating buns in the sky
singing these will be the best when we're high
these will be the best when we're high
can you meet a shoebill stare
and do you think you're a millionare
cause tsuchinoko told you so
and do you believe in hululu
can you cook the food owls tell you to
and can you teach me how to brew alpacaccino
well i know that you're in love with moose
cause we staged a war as a lame excuse
you both got up to duel
but not one of us was fooled
i had a dream and a cheap ass rotoscope
of a sleepy zebra and an antelope
but i lost my last bit of hope
the day kemono died
i started singing
bye bye miss japari pie
took my chevy to the lake with fennec fox and arai
and good old girls were eating buns in the sky
singing these will be the best when we're high
these will be the best when we're high
for ages now we've been on our own
and moss grown thick on the japari throne
but that's not how it used to be
cause when a turncoat friend met the gloomy queen
in a coat she tie dyed jello green
and a voice that came from you and me
and when the queen was looking down
the serval took her pointy crown
word of it got around
and they shut that bastard down
and as wild dog let out a warning bark
the bombs started dropping in japari park
and we held hands there in the dark
the day kemono died
we started singing
bye bye miss japari pie
took my chevy to the lake with fennec fox and arai
and good old girls were eating buns in the sky
singing these will be the best when we're high
these will be the best when we're high
there's sandstar blowin' from the mountain top
and so much now for a palette swap
8 miles high and falling fast
there's friends to make in the taller grass
and high adventure in the mountain pass
where foxes read a weather sumilcast
well curry makes for a sweet perfume
and capybara scratched a bangin' tune
we all got up to dance
but we never had the chance
cause a dark wind blew in from the field
and those bird brained penguins refused to yield
do you recall what was revealed
the day kemono died
they started singing
bye bye miss japari pie
took my chevy to the lake with fennec fox and arai
and good old girls were eating buns in the sky
singing these will be the best when we're high
these will be the best when we're high
oh and there we all were in one place
orphans of a zoophilic copy paste
and nowhere left to start again
so kaban be smart and kaban be quick
fold your paper now and shake your stick
cause fire is a cerulean's only friend
and as I watched them on the stage
my hands were clenched in fists of rage
no holy watering hole
could cleanse japari's soul
and as the flames climbed high into the night
to light the sacrificial copyright
ceruleans laughed with delight
the day kemono died
and they were singing
bye bye miss japari pie
took my chevy to the lake with fennec fox and arai
and good old girls were eating buns in the sky
singing these will be the best when we're high
these will be the best when we're high
i met a bird who sang the blues
and asked her for some happy news
she just smiled and turned away
i made my way to the jungle shore
where i'd seen otters play before
but jaguar told me that otter couldn't play
in the savannah i heard a scream
grey wolf howled and sand cat dreamed
not a word was spoken
the ferris wheel was broken
and the three friends i admire most
kaban serval and mirai's ghost
well they caught the last bus for the coast
the day kemono died
so bye bye miss japari pie
took my chevy to the lake with fennec fox and arai
and good old girls were eating buns in the sky
singing these will be the best when we're high
these will be the best when we're high
bye bye miss japari pie
took my chevy to the lake with fennec fox and arai
and good old girls were eating buns in the sky
singing these will be the best when we're high
these will be the best when we're high
