起き直竜
あ！ガタガタ江戸!
あと案年。。。

Okinaoru.
Ah! Gatagata Edo!
Ato antoshi...

The Dragon awakes.
Whoa! Ancient Tokyo's shaking!
Then, a Peaceful Year.

with all those dragons
on her new kimono
the scent of perfume

year of the dragon
dancing the bunny hop
one last time

first dream
the dragon within me
just blowing smoke

at the edge of the water
waits for a dragon

新年快樂
breathes the dragon
into my scorched ear

behind the dragon's
fearful grin
your gentle smile

you the dragon's snarl
I the whip of his tail
we dance the year in

you a monkey
me a monkey too
we dance the dragon
