"I'll Cook For You"

                by Shunsuke Ichikawa (1997)

(Sung by Ukyou Kuonji of "Ranma 1/2",
 to the tune of "I'll Play For You" by Seals and Crofts)


I'll cook for you
I'll cook for you
I'll cook for you...

Tonight while the Ucchan's open,
        And the griddle is still on - I'll cook for you
So many will be the dressings, 
        And so short will be the time - it'll take to do

Yes, I'll cook for you - one okonomiyaki or two?
You say I'm just your friend,
But I want to marry you in the end,
I'll always cook for you.

Chorus: Ran-chan, Ran-chan,
        Won't you taste my secret sauce, now,
        Ran-chan?
        I want to live with you forever,
        Don't you marry anyone else,
        Make Akane set you free,
        Now, Ran-chan,
        Dear Ran-chan,
        I love how you use your feet and use your hands!
        These okonomiyaki we share together, 
        I will cook for you!

I had practiced for ten years and I had come a long long way, 
        To take revenge on you.
My life, like yours and Genma's, I had written off in many ways,
        Then I heard from you:

"You're a girl?  Ucchan, you're cute!",
And I really want today,
To be your "one and only" iinazuke,
I wish you'd taken me with you that day.

Chorus:
