Disclaimer:The character of Lardizabal Tanaka is by the writers of a fanfic series, Daigakusai no Ranma. The writers, David Tai, Paul Gallegos, John Walter Biles and Jeff Hosmer, are the owners of this character and I in no way am saying he is mine. I am merely using him as a Ranma 1/2 character in this country song, as I am taking their creation DnR as the unoffical offical continuation of the show until Takahashi-sama actually makes the continuation which I am hoping she will. I am also using, only namewise, another character from the DnR series, whose name is Makiko. Again Lardizabal & Makiko are not my creations I am merely using him to hopefully put a smile on the face of those who read this. If you do not know about Lardizabal or Makiko and would like to I suggest you go to DnR and read the afore mentions writers' absolutely marvelous fanfic series.
(We fade in to see Lardizabal in the Nekohanten Bar and Grill sitting at a stool and finishing a shot of what appears to be sake. He is dressed as per usual and gestures to someone for more. Shampoo walks over and narrows her eyes at him.)
Shampoo:You have money?
Lardizabal:Hey I'm good for it!
(Shampoo frowns and turns absently batting him across the room and into a jukebox. The song that was playing skips as he slams into it and suddenly a new song starts up. He sits and shakes his head vigorously and gets to his feet stumbling back to the bar as the singing begins.)
I'm a full grown man
That's plain to see
But nowhere near as full grown as I'd like to be
But I'll find a bar
And I'll have a few
Until I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof
(Lardizabal stumbles towards the bar and gets caught up in a crowd of dancers. He is pushed and shoved around in the middle of them while the next verse is sung.)
Now I'd hit the dance floor
Each time I had the chance
Well that is if these two left feet knew how to dance
'Bout the only time
I'm kicking up my shoes
Is when I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof
(Lardizabal finds his way out of the dancers and slumps over onto the bar. He looks up grabs a drink from a nearby customer who tries to keep is from him while the next verse is sung. About halfway through it he yanks the drink out of the other guy's hand and ends up splashing Shampoo with the warm sake. She frowns and pulls her bonbori from behind her and knocks him across the room once again.)
Well I start to feel like Superman
Then I pick a fight
Only to find that my opponent's
Holding kryptonite
You'd think I'd learn my lesson
But I'm still paying dues
Each time I drink and start to think
I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof
(Lardizabal picks himself up and shakes his head looking around and standing unsteadily. He blinks and rubs his eyes as he stares ahead of him. He smiles as he spots Akane and heads over sitting beside her.)
My woman left me
She called me a clown
Well that's the general consensus in this town
But I had it coming
Lord to tell the truth
For acting ten feet tall and bulletproof
(Lardizabal smiles drunkenly and tries to put an arm around Akane but he is grabbed by Ranma, who's sitting across from them, and pulled halfway across the table. The two glare at each other for a moment and then begin to fight as the next verse is sung.)
Well I start to feel like Superman
Then I pick a fight
Only to find that my opponent's
Holding kryptonite
You'd think I'd learn my lesson
But I'm still paying dues
Each time I drink and start to think
I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof
Each time I drink and start to think
I'm ten feet tall and bulletproof
(As the singing and music end Lardizabal is once again tossed across the bar and lands, finally unconscious, at the feet of Makiko who looks down at him and sighs. She bends down grabs him by the collar and turns dragging him out of the Nekohanten as we fade to black.)
