That Yumiko, his wife, prepares
And for his second stomach
2 ice cream bars and 6 chocolate eclairs

By day, he builds a spaceship
It's got a periscope and hatch
At night, he might go 5 for 5
With a patented sliding catch
A patented sliding catch

For those who haven't worshiped yet
Must succumb to bowing soon
There'll be nothing left to prove
When Ichiro goes, Ichiro goes to the moon
When Ichiro goes, Ichiro goes to the moon

At age 40, he'll turn to pitching
With a fastball that hits 95
A knuckler that defies gravity
A curve with a 12 to 6 dive

Don't put him on a pedestal
Just treat him with respect
He seeks but his own approval
And earns all that he gets
He earns all that he gets

There'll be another curtain call
A spacesuit in the trophy room
And I won't be surprised at all
When Ichiro goes, Ichiro goes to the moon
When Ichiro goes, Ichiro goes to the moon
When Ichiro goes, Ichiro goes to the moon

That Yumiko, his wife, prepares
And for his second stomach
