What Would Gendo Ikari Do?
Sung by Shinji Ikari, Kensuke Aida, Toji Suzuhara to the
original song, 'What Would Brian Boitano Do?' from the
South Park movie.
~~~ ~~~
[The three are standing outside, looking somewhat down.]
Kensuke:I didn't think Misato would listen.
Shinji: Then we'll just have to save my mom ourselves!
Kensuke:But how?
Shinji: Think about it, you guys. What would my dad do? He'd
figure out a way to save my mom before Third Impact.
Kensuke:We can't do anything. SEELE's too powerful.
Shinji: We'll just have to pilot the EVAs ourselves to try and
find a way together.
Toji: Yeah, like our own secret organization!
Kensuke:I guess that could work.
Shinji: We have to try!
[Song begins]
Shinji: What would Gendo Ikari do
If he was here right now?
He'd make a plan and he'd follow through
That's what Gendo Ikari'd do.
Kensuke:When Gendo Ikari was at Kyoto
Getting his degree
He got drunk and beat up a lot
And got married to Yui.
Toji: When Gendo Ikari was at Gehirn
Plotting every day
He used his wife and magic specs
To try and sink SEELE.
All 3: So what would Gendo Ikari do
If he were here today?
I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two
That's what Gendo Ikari'd do!
Toji: I want my arm and leg back too
Where do I put my spare glove and shoe?
Kensuke:And I just want to shoot a gun cuz playing soldier's fun.
Shinji: For Asuka I'll be a bastard too
Cuz that's what Gendo Ikari'd do.
All 3: What would Gendo Ikari do?
He'd get all the kids in town
And make them pilot an EVA or two
That's what Gendo Ikari'd do
[The singing pauses briefly with the approach of a stranger.]
Voice: Someone say my name?
Shinji: Who are you?
Voice: I'm Masuyo Ikari.
Kensuke:What? No, not Masuyo Ikari!
Shinji: Get out of here! Please.
Masuyo: Oh. Bye!
[The woman hurries off down the street. Singing resumes.]
All 3: When Gendo Ikari cloned a girl
With hair of the lightest blue
He used an angel's DNA
And got a bit from Yui too.
Toji: When Gendo Ikari built the EVAs
He screwed over the UN
All 3: Cuz Gendo Ikari doesn't take shit from anybody...
So let's all get the EVAs
To try and stop SEELE
And we'll save the soul of Yui too
Cuz that's what Gendo Ikari'd do.
We'll save the soul of Yui too
Cuz that's what Gendo Ikari'd do!
Cuz that's what Gendo Ikari'd do!
[The three walk off into the sunset of Tokyo-3, singing.]
