A bit behind in posting - here is a talented group of students who agreed to do the pre-port song for Kobe. This followed the Kabuki skit (which you will get a taste of).
the lyrics:
Kobe Pre-Port Song
Stop – in the name of love
Before you break our hearts
Stop – learn from this song
Before you disembark
Think it oooover
Think it oooover
Baby, baby, Japan is where we’re goin’
Ice is fine and sushi really safe here
Temperatures have already been taken
Quarantine no one’s gonna partake in
Your behavior is what matters here
Bad judgment, all you need fear
Think it oooover
Pepto’s been good to you
Think it oooover
Pepto is finally through
Stop – in the name of health
Before you take that risk
Stop – in the name of love
Before you break our hearts
Think it oooover
Think it oooover
I know that you want to do what’s right
Things are different here, try to be polite
People here are very understated
Respect, it needs to be created
But when the noodles are served
Loud slurping should be observed
Think it oooover
Please leave your shoes at the door
Think it oooover
Keep loudness below a roar
Stop – be a traveler
Not some loud tourist
Stop – in the name of love
Before you break their hearts
Think it oooover
Think it oooover
Japan has options, more than one or two
But if you drink there, please just think it through
Let you partner fill your glass - not many
Staying sober is rudimentary
This time before you drink to excess
Think Karaoke success
Think it oooover
Sake drink is quite strong
Think it oooover
Drinking too much is wrong
Stop – put down that beer
Before you drink too much
Stop – put down that glass
Before you get dock time
Think it oooover
Think it oooover
Japan is a fixed price nation
So we’re done with price negotiations
You may find, things are quite expensive
Purchases may not be so extensive
Still you can have a good time there
‘Cause culture is everywhere
Think it oooover
Haven’t you bought enough
Think it oooover
That you have to ship home
Stop in the name of love
Before you break the bank
Stop in the name of Love
That credit card goes blank
Think it oooover
Think it oooover
Listen closely, there can be no objection
This conversation is here for your reflection
Each time you wrap up with your lover
There is something to do for each other
When your partner comes near
You whisper in their ear
Think it oooover
There are still STDs here
Think it oooover
You can still catch them here
Condoms – in the name of love
Put it on before you start
Condoms – in the name of love
Before you break a heart
Think it oooover
Think it oooover
Think it oooover
