[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]
