Scenes From A Maple House

by Rob Morris

( Set to the tune of 'Scenes From An Italian Restaurant' by Billy Joel )

A feeling of joy, A feeling of dread

There's a becalmed feeling in my head

They're talking now of war real near

But it's not quite yet here

Papa now, let us speak

A girl named Lucy, A girl named Nyu

It all depends upon your point of view

Nana's quite the tale to tell

Of the house we call Maple

First I arrived on that same beach

Had new limbs, had some odd paper
Fought Mister Bando, tried to buy food

and I met Mayu-chan

Saw Nyu and I freaked

Saw Lucy, she could not speak

How is it that two people

Could live in one form?

I discovered Kouta-San was not such a big louse

Rice, soup, ice cream, baths at Maple House

No cannonballs sleep quiet as a mouse

All highs, no lows

Until I felt your Mariko

Mariko Kurama was your actual daughter

Who the Chief had taken away

Then they told her Lucy bring back

but Nana to slay

They called her Number 35

Nana was lucky to get out alive

We didn' t realize that we had a Papa For Two

Coming to get us was Kouta-San and Nyu

First Isobe, then Shirakawa, and it looked like Papa died too

To stop the Chief's schemes you made a hostage out of Nyu

But Lucy Papa awakened

Mariko by your love was shaken

She went to defend us even giving her life

With her horns gone Nana hoped to wave Lucy goodbye

We had six months of peace

While Nousou made clones

And Anna to Goddess ascend

A Bad Man who Bando fought off

Lucy tried to kill our good friend

Kouta came and said let's have peace

But on peace we cannot depend

The soldiers invaded

Amnesia faded

And Lucy was taken to Chief

She capped him off and sank the island

And sailed back to the mainland

Then the queen met her king

and said her peace

But he never wanted to see her again

Kouta and Nyu were having a redo

As Papa shot him again

Angry Lucy swore she'd bring the world to an end

She couldn't bring herself to do it

She traded her life and she said screw it

Kouta-San will live on even if I will melt

That's the end of the tale of those two

Kouta did as promised and he killed Nyu

And here we are cleaning up our old Maple House

A daughter in need, a wife owed her due

Tell me what Nana really is to you

Nana says let's run our course

In our old sturdy Maple House...
