In the age of COVID, many a ninja finds themselves practicing all alone at home. Ninj-ing (a new verb for the Oxford Dictionary) is no fun when there’s no one to ninj on. We NEED each other. One lonely ninja, the dear and lovely Foo Foo Head poured out her heart’s cry for someone to ninj with one October day when she, our friend and sister Bun Bun-chan, and myself (a.k.a. Weirdo) were chatting on the FB messenger. I filled in a couple of verses, and Voilà! We have a song for the ages. We’ve provided the sound track below to help you sing this out for yourself.
Verse 1 When I was young, I never shuto’d anyone And kamae was just for fun Those days are gone Verse 2 Kicking alone I think of all the friends I've thrown But when I seoi nage alone Inside my home Chorus All by myself Don't wanna ninj, all by myself, anymore All by myself Don't wanna ninj, all by myself, anymore Verse 3 Hard to be sure A little sparring won't secure And give the ribs a new contour There's no allure (Guitar Solo) Chorus All by myself Don't wanna ninj, all by myself, anymore All by myself Don't wanna ninj, all by myself, anymore (Very Looooong Orchestral Interlude) Verse 4 Now that I’m old Ya know I just can’t be so bold Omote kote lost its hold Because you’re gone! Chorus All by myself Don't wanna ninj, all by myself, anymore All by myself Don't wanna ninj, all by myself, anymore All by myself Don't wanna ninj, all by myself, anymore All by myself Don't wanna ninj, all by myself, anymore All by myself Don't wanna ninj, all by myself, anymore
