Let's call the whole thing off-balance

by Chris Kuszmaul

sung to the tune of "Let's Call The Whole thing Off"

You say "irimi" and I say "omote"
You say "Ikeda" I say "Saotome"
"Irimi" "omote", "Ikeda" "Saotome"
Let's call the whole thing off balance

You say "Kuzushi" I say "kuzuri"
You say "canvas" I say "real tatami"
Let's call the whole thing off balance

Oh, if we call the whole thing off balance
Then we must part and
Oh, if we ever part
That would break my hara

I say "ukemi" you say "atemi"
I'm not gonna stop taken ukemi
Just cause you throw atemi
Let's call the whole thing off balance

I say "hakama" you say "white pajamas"
Sugar, what's the problem?
For we know we need each other so
We'd better throw out our off balance

Oh let's call it Doh, oh let's call it Dough
Oh let's call it Do, baby let's call it do

Sugar why don't we call it off balance,
I'm talking baby why call it off balance
Let's call the whole thing off balance
