The Festive
Monster's
Cheerful
Failure
Famous among tengu as a entertainose,
leave it to me for all nose-related goods
But in my very pores, I feel
an unending desire to live among humans!
I got on the ground and demanded begged
until my parents finally got soft;
"You can stay there for just three years -
make yourself useful to their world in that time!"
If the truth came out with my tengu powers,
I'd be forced on a return trip to my parents
Unsure what to do, I was in the lonely go-home club...
Perhaps I could work with humans on something?
What if I joined a band and became a star?!
Alright! I'll look for members!
But what's this about my classmates?
Only two of them are actually human?!
So many just happened to be monsters like me -
probability is laughing in my face!
As a fellow monster, I can easily tell:
he's a caveperson,
and he's a Peso,
and he's a trouser press, of all things -
I'm in the same class as consumer electronics!
The few humans available,
I invited to start a clumsy band
While we got along rather well,
our motivation was rather lacking
I revealed my proud nose to them,
but the members abused it constantly...
Don't hit drums with it!
Don't check potato firmness with it!
Stop hanging umbrellas!
Don't use it as a doorstop!
Don't use it to make puff pastry!
Don't hit drums with it!
Don't clean small gaps with it!
Don't use it as a screwdriver! I'm begging you...
Be careful with it!
While enjoying this time together,
we happened upon a chance to go on stage
We had a rare serious rehearsal,
and it would be a success for sure,
so we swore...
But unfortunately,
I injured my right hand,
and couldn't even hold a pick...
I wouldn't just have someone stand in for me...
Because even if I can't move this hand...
My nose can reach my guitar;
I don't care if my identity is revealed
Even if my nose is forever wounded,
and I can't be a entertainose, I don't mind
Because no matter what it takes,
I want to be up on this stage with you all,
and more than any unlikely future,
the present is most important...
So as our poor performance echoes,
we're having more fun than anyone...
I snuck away silently,
but I didn't have any regrets
So I may have made a failure of it all...
But then why do I feel so cheerful?
