Gold Balls

You want some good luck in your life?

Find yourself a tanuki

Those little bastards have balls               

Running around drinking and merrymaking

At all times of the day without a care in the world

There’s this old children’s tale that tells you all you need to know

Tan tan tanuki no kintama wa

Kaze mo nai no ni bura bura

You need to be careful because they’re hard to find

And even harder to catch

But it’s worth all the graft

They don’t call me golden balls for nothing
