Quite long ago inside a book
Called the "Shi Jin Ten Sho"
There was a man who had great looks.
His name was Nuriko.
He was a man with purple hair
And purple eyes to match;
But if you think he’s great, beware.
He’s got a little catch.
Nuriko’s got this little thing
He does, and it’s been said
That when he’s bored, he’ll get a big
Knife and cut off his head.
Then he will show the emperor
What wonders he has done.
The rich man will scream in terror.
Nuriko has such fun!
Then Mitsukake, a doctor, will
Come running quick as light.
And to this day, he even still
Shakes his head at this sight.
He’ll quickly use his magic pow’rs
To set Nuriko right
And when he’s done, it takes him hours
To get to sleep that night.
And that Nuriko, clever guy,
Will often try again
To cut his head off with a sigh
In front of some women.
But these tactics do not impress
Those females out there,
For blood will spatter on their dress
And even in their hair!!
So poor Nuriko tries elsewhere
To show off his talent.
(He cut his head off as a dare
From British Parliament!!)
And every time he does his dead
The doctor shows up there
To stop Nuriko’s neck that bleeds
And re-style his hair.
But one day, sadly, in a show
Nuriko cut his head.
And Mitsukake, he didn’t know,
So now, Nuriko’s dead.
So now he sits up in the sky
With a halo and wings
And all his friends had a good cry
Over these tragic things.
Nuriko says "My dearest friends
I just want you to know:
If that’s the way it had to end,
You should have seen that show!!"
