| This song was featured as the theme in the commercial for Aflac's "Aflac shin EVER" insurance program in Japan. Also a "maneki neko" or "beckoning cat" is a cat typically seen inside of or near Japanese restaurants, shops, and various places of business. It is supposed to be beckoning in business with its upraised (and sometimes waving) paw. |
When it wants to sleep
It sleeps
Meow
Shaking its behind
That's how it walks
Quack-quack-quack
Each one
Of them
Makes the other happy
A cat and a duck
Join forces
And make everyone happy
The beckoning cat duck
Let me hear
Your wish
Meow
(Meow)
I want to invite
Happiness unto you
(Quack-quack)
Happiness
Happiness
Come to me here
A cat and a duck
Join forces
And make everyone happy
The beckoning cat duck
On rainy days and sunny days
On cloudy days
Meow
There are all sorts of things
That will happen, but
Quack-quack-quack
Happiness
Happiness
Come to me here
A cat and a duck
Join forces
And make everyone happy
The beckoning cat duck
The beckoning cat duck
The beckoning cat duck
