Lyric added by: MMLMy boyfriend’s coming to my house tonight
Everyone’s waiting impatiently
I'm waiting impatiently too
Still not here yet? Still not here yet?
Oh, come on, come on, come on
Mum’s rolled up her sleeves in the kitchen
She’s checking what’s in the fridge
And writing down what she needs to buy
Meat, and leeks
Ah! And konnyaku noodles
On a day like this, of course, we’re having sukiyaki
Ah, what an occasion – sukiyaki!
The tension’s rising – sukiyaki!
My boyfriend called
And asked every detail of what’s going on here
“I missed your station on the train”
Still not here yet? Still not here yet?
Oh, come on, come on, come on
I’ve sent my little sister out
To buy the things we’ve forgotten
Dad’s pretending to read the paper
Enoki mushrooms, haruna*
Ah! Fried tofu, tofu, tofu
How should I introduce him?
Should I just say he's a good friend?
Will he go into a huff about that?
At last, everyone comes out to meet him
It’s begun well
Dad’s running the show enthusiastically
He’s not here yet, he’s not here yet
Oh, that’s OK, that’s OK, that’s OK, that’s OK
They're still talking about sports
Unable to get inside
I keep a vague smile
Soy sauce, sugar
Raw eggs, eggs, eggs
Sukiyaki on a Sunday night
Sukiyaki – it’s a mystery
Sukiyaki – it’s the heart of Japan
You managed 4 helpings
What a good boy you were
I'm glad things went so well
I love how reliable you are
