'twas early in the spring when I decide to go
For to work up in the woods in east Gen-sok-i-o
The unemployment office said they'd send me through
To the winding Sanzu river with the survey crew

And the youkai, the little youkai
Always the youkai, no matter where you go
I'll die with a youkai pickin' my bones
In east Gen-sok-i-o-i-o, in east Gen-sok-i-o

Now the sailor, Murasa was the captain of the crew
And she said, "i'm gonna tell you girls what we're gonna do
They want to build a power dam and we must find a way
For to make the Sanzu flow around the other way"

With the youkai, the little youkai
Always the youkai, no matter where you go
I'll die with a youkai pickin' my bones
In east Gen-sok-i-o-i-o, in east Gen-sok-i-o

So we survey to the east, survey to the west
And we couldn't make our minds up how to do it best
Little San', little San', what shall I do
For I'm all but goin' crazy on the survey crew

And the youkai, the little youkai
Always the youkai, no matter where you go
I'll die with a youkai pickin' my bones
In east gen-sok-i-o-i-o, in east gen-sok-i-o

It was youkai, youkai everywhere
A-bitin' at your ankles, a-pullin' at your hair
Stealin' all the soup, and stealin' all the tea
The devil take the youkai and let me be

Youkai, the little youkai
Always the youkai, no matter where you go
I'll die with a youkai picking my bones
In east gen-sok-i-o-i-o, in east gen-sok-i-o

youkai, the little youkai~

Murasa fell to swearin', the work went slow
The state of our morale was a-gettin' pretty low
The danmaku was heavy, it was hard to catch a breath
As you staggered up and down the trail talkin' to yourself

With the youkai, the little youkai
Always the youkai, no matter where you go
I'll die with a youkai picking my bones
In east Gen-sok-i-o-i-o, in east Gen-sok-i-o

Well Now, the bull cook's name was Yagokoro
If it hadn't been for her we'd have never pulled through
'Cause she bound up our bruises, and she kidded us for fun
And she lathered us with bacon grease and balsam gum

For the youkai, the little youkai
Always the youkai, no matter where you go
I'll die with a youkai picking my bones
In east Gen-sok-i-o-i-o, in east Gen-sok-i-o

And at last the job was over, Murasa said 'we're through'
With the winding Sansu River and the survey crew
'twas a wonderful experience and this i know
I'll never go again to east Gen-sok-i-o

With the youkai, the little youkai
Always the youkai, no matter where you go
I'll die with a youkai pickin' my bones
In east Gen-sok-i-o-i-o, in east Gen-sok-i-o

And the youkai, the little youkai
Always the youkai, no matter where you go
I'll die with a youkai pickin' my bones~
In east Gen-sok-i-o-i-o, in east Gen-sok-i-o~
