[Intro]
"August 10, 1937. Tokyo. In a small laboratory, we are learning how to freeze time. A lens of glass, a mechanical click, and a flash of light. Let's capture the moment."
[Verse 1]
The bustling city is a very crowded place,
We want to capture the expression of a face.
A silver camera is resting in the case,
To freeze a moment in a beautiful embrace.
[Pre-Chorus]
The little shutter is a fascinating thing,
We hear the clicking of the tiny metal spring.
The velvet curtain is attached to heavy string,
A frozen picture is the treasure that we bring.
[Chorus]
[Percussion emphasizes the camera flash: "Pop!"]
Oh, listen closely to the fascinating sound!
The greatest camera that anyone has found!
We capture moments as the people walk around!
The heavy shadows are completely fully bound!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
The careful polish of the magnifying glass,
To see the people in the meadow on the grass.
We take a picture of the ladies with the class,
A metal object wrapped in shining golden brass.
[Pre-Chorus]
The little shutter is a fascinating thing,
We hear the clicking of the tiny metal spring.
The velvet curtain is attached to heavy string,
A frozen picture is the treasure that we bring.
[Chorus]
Oh, listen closely to the fascinating sound!
The greatest camera that anyone has found!
We capture moments as the people walk around!
The heavy shadows are completely fully bound!
[Bridge]
The laboratory is a masterpiece of art,
We bring the science to a fascinating start.
The lens is acting as a very beating heart,
A tiny moment that will never fall apart.
[Upward Jazz Drum Fill / Loud Camera Flash]
[Final Chorus]
Oh, listen closely to the fascinating sound!
The greatest camera that anyone has found!
We capture moments as the people walk around!
The heavy shadows are completely fully bound!
[Outro]
The year of thirty-seven is the golden year,
The lovely focus is incredibly so clear.
We hold the memories completely very near,
A magic picture to replace a heavy tear.
[End]
