“The Tenno Is in a Very Bad Mood”

OWC Hit Song
(At the cover montage)

Very ugly, now in the pit sits
His great friend Benito,
But beyond that,
Emperor Hirohito is lacking any energy.
He has always been very pale,
Now he looks like a small lemon,
The defeat weighs on his mind,
I wouldn’t like to be in his shoes.

Refrain:
The Tenno is in a very bad mood, that’s certainly a fact,
He feels, he will soon lose all of East Asia again.

For years he lay in wait,
Then one saw him appear,
He grabbed Java, Singapore,
And also the Philippines.
A part of China was occupied
By the Japanese troops,
Japan dictates the Asia law,
Feels called to it.

Refrain:
But now they are in a very bad mood, that’s certainly a fact,
They feel, they will soon lose all of East Asia again.

They claim East Asia for themselves,
And wish to convert it,
Japan was once the ruler well and truly,
And master in governing.
Or New Guinea, Borneo,
Sumatra or Pearl Harbor,
Boldly shouted out in Tokyo,
Every enemy will become rhubarb.

Refrain:
But now they are in a very bad mood, that’s certainly a fact,
They feel, they will soon lose all of East Asia again.

Yes, the Japanese went about their business,
And stole every colony,
In Java and in Palembang
His thieving throne rules.
They steal the rubber and the tea,
The rice and the gasoline,
They drag everything, everything away,
Tobacco, tin, and quinine.

Refrain:
But now they are in a very bad mood, that’s certainly a fact,
They feel, they will soon lose all of East Asia again.

In the course of events, there came a change,
For the Japanese it did become
No moonlight and no scent of roses,
As we read from the newspaper.

The Yankee army advances quickly,
No blessing rests on Japan,
Finally, the Tenno will probably
Commit harakiri.

Refrain:
The Tenno is in a very bad mood, that’s certainly a fact,
He feels, he will soon lose all of East Asia again.
