The Explaining Anime To Parents Song
Nancy Kepner
Dm
Verse
C G B Em A# I guess I always knew someday the day would come C Am G When a simple explanation simply wouldn't be enough. C A G# At this point I have 7 wigs, 52 games, 12 DVDs, Em Am 9 manga 250 K-pop songs on MP3s. Most of which you paid for so I guess I understand D Dm G Why you want an explanation I'll explain as best I can
Chorus
C G Mother, Father, the reason I like anime D F G The reason I know foreign words that only avid fans could say C Em D#m Am The reason that I dress up weird and go to starange conventions Dm Am Is because I think it's fun, it's not just for attention
Chorus
C G Mother, Father, you don't quite get this cosplay thing D F G Why people walk around the streets as Pokemon and Card Game Kings? C Em D#m Am Or how come in the U.S. we'd wear Japanese Steet Fashion Dm Am Well it's like a costume party, and it's part of the attraction!

Em D#m A I'm sorry if I'm stuttering, but really how on Earth, Dm Em Am G Do I explain this to my parents, who have sheltered me from birth? G (slide G up and back down like in the video) That I'm not watching cartoons! G (slide G up and back down like in the video) And this isn't just a phase! Dm Am Yes it's weird, that's why I love it, F G No, it won't affect my grades C Am Cause despite all my explaining G C I can never make them see C Em Am They just wonder what they did wrong G raising me
Chorus
C G Oh, Mother, Father, please let me join the maid cafe D F G I swear it isn't creepy though I see how it could sound that way... C Em D#m Am And I assure you Lolita's not what the book was written on! Dm Oh wait you didn't read the book... Am I didn't either... F G Moving on...

Chorus
C G Oh, Mother, Father, you want to know what shipping is F I would explain but I'm afraid F G you won't respect me after this C Em D#m Am I'd tell you about fandoms, and their strange imaginations Dm A F How for most fans fanfiction is just a form of Mas- G ...creation?
