I am the very model of the fanboy individual
I’ve information mecha action, shojo romance, magic girl
I know Bleach, Rayearth and Death Note and I reference fights historical
Of teens in giant robots fighting battles around Tokyo

I am very well acquainted too with the series Evangelion
I understand its allusions both to intrigue and religion
I forced my friends to watch each episode of Escaflowne
And lust for an alien named Lum in tiger stripe bikini

Lust for an alien named Lum in tiger stripe bikini
Lust for an alien named Lum in tiger stripe bikini
An itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow tiger stripe bikini

I watch His & Hers Circumstances, Child’s Toy and Ranma too
Which I call Kare Kano and Kodocha and La-un-ma
In short in matters Japanese, both animated or manga
I am the very model of the fanboy individual

In short in matters Japanese, both animated or manga
He is the very model of the fanboy individual

I watch Fushigi Yuugi, Chobits, Slayers, Naruto, Kenshin
Then follow up with Ninja Scroll, and Ah My Goddess, and Lupin
Liked Robotech more back when it was Macross and Mospeada
And I admit I like the harems girls of Tenchi a bit too Muyo

I can understand how one might find these big eyes lacking in appeal
But just sit down, watch Project A-ko and Akira and then you will.
My days and nights are all a fugue. There’s just so much out there to see
But I know I’m an otaku and for that make no apology

He knows he’s an otaku and for that make no apology
He knows he’s an otaku and for that make no apology
He knows he’s an otaku loser fanboy and makes no apology

I know pop culture’s anime exposure has been pretty sad
Just Pokemon and Sailor Moon and DBZ is all we’ve had
There’s tons of animes out there and someday I will watch ‘em all
For I’m the very model of the fanboy individual

There’s tons of animes out there and someday he will watch ‘em all
For he’s the very model of the fanboy individual

In my spare time I often fashion models toys made from resin
Of Utena and Gunsmith Cats and Tencho Tenge and Gundam
When at parties I speak Japanese at any opportunity
But don’t know enough so end it with dappya and call myself uchi

When I regail what progress has been made in modern gunnery
I oft bemoan the lack of giant mecha in artillery
I overspend on eBay. I’m already broke before I’m paid
But at a con my costume will win first prize at the masquerade

At a con his costume will win first prize at the masquerade
At a con his costume will win first prize at the masquerade
At a con his cheesy purchased cheating costume will win first prize

For my dedicated knowledge I feel great pride and I always will
It almost balances the woe I’m repulsive to every girl
But still in matters Japanese both animated and manga
I am the very model of the fanboy individual

In short in matters Japanese, animated or manga
He is the very model of the fanboy individual
