"Can't Get There From Here"
 
        by Shunsuke Ichikawa (1997)
 
(Sung by Ryouga Hibiki of "Ranma 1/2", 
 to the tune of "Can't Get There From Here" by R.E.M.)
 
 
When I change into P-chan
The world wants to swallow me whole
I'm Ryouga: 'good teeth', I'm
Not a pig or a boar!
 
I really need help with directions
Followed a map, now where do I go?
I'll get you get, Saotome!
Now just where is the Tendo home?
 
(I've been there, don't know the way)
                  Can't get there from here
(I've been there, don't know the way)
                  Can't get there from here
(I've been there, don't know the way)
                  Can't get there from here
(I've been there, don't know the way)
 
You don't really deserve Akane!
You have no right to be her fiance!
I'd challenge you to an man-to-man duel, Ranma,
If only I could find the Tendo-ke!
 
(I've been there, don't know the way)
                  Can't get there from here
(I've been there, don't know the way)
                  Can't get there from here
(I've been there, don't know the way)
                  Can't get there from here
(I've been there, don't know the way)
 
Shi shi hokoudan, depression bound
Breaking rocks, underground
The edge of seven bandanas going
round and round
Go on ahead Ranma,
you coward, run and hide -
Now, just where on Earth am I?
 
When I change into P-chan
The world wants to swallow me whole
I'll get you get, Saotome!
Now just where is the Tendo home?
 
(I've been there, don't know the way)
                  Can't get there from here
(I've been there, don't know the way)
                  Can't get there from here
(I've been there, don't know the way)
                  Can't get there from here
(I've been there, don't know the way)
 
(Oh, Akane!)
