Kaeshite! Knee Socks

daru~ taiiku no ato nante
mizu nonde pappa kigaemashou
ase ga ite mendou da na

ame futtara MARASON mo
shinakute sumu hahha tsugi no toki wa
omajinai jimi ni doryoku

matta! ARE wa doko ni aru?
(naani naani nanka mata TORABURU)
datte! ARE ga mitsukaranai
dokoka ni kiechatta yo
(hai yo hai yo hai yo! doshita itte goran?)

watashi no NIISOKKUSU kaeshite yo ne
dareka haichattanda?
minna niteru kedo
chotto chigau kara ne (wakannai!)
sagashite NIISOKKUSU yubi no nagasa
bimyou na KATACHI nanda
minna niteru yo de
joshi wa joshi no BARIE

toho~n kekkyoku tabidatta?
fushigi da na poi poi uwabaki dake

watashi dake no NIISO

Return Them! Knee Socks

So dull, after PE
Take a drink of water, and let’s go change clothes
We’re sweaty, so it’s a pain

If it rains, we still have to
Finish the marathon, next time
I’ll use a good luck charm, a simple effort

Wait! Where are they?
(What, what, there’s some kind of trouble)
But! I can’t find them
Where have they disappeared to?
(Yes, yes, yes! What’d you say, search?)

Give me back my knee socks!
Who put them on?
Everyone’s look similar, but
They’re not the same! (I don’t get it!)
Searching for my knee socks, the length of the toes
They have a delicate shape
Everyone’s look similar
But they vary from girl to girl

Huh, have they gone on a journey?
It’s strange, just wearing slippers
I keep stepping on the heels and catching my foot

But if I try to consider it
They were old, so god must have been telling me
To buy a new pair, right?

No! I don’t have any spending money
(Job, job, hurry up and pay me)
Man, I’ll just have to be patient
Since I also want to buy manga
(Whoops! Getting ice cream on the way back!)

Farewell to my two-dimensional knee socks
Next time I’ll take care
About the color and the length
I’m kind of particular about them (what about it?)
The worn feeling was just right
They were my favorite
I’ll get some
In the same color and length

Wait, wait, wait a minute! Hey, hey!
Don’t you know?
Datte ratte cafe latte! Guigui
That item’s all gone
(No! No! No! The final result is they’re gone!)

Well, then, give me my knee socks back
Who put them on?
Everyone’s look similar, but
They’re not the same! (I don’t get it!)
Searching for my knee socks, the length of the toes
They have a delicate shape
Everyone’s look similar
But they’re mine alone
