My calligraphy pen, FUFU Is trembling, FUFU As I'm writing my first ever GREETING CARD to you My throbbing PASSION And overflowing ACTION Might just spurt out

I imagine your smile And I want to show you my good points I grasp my passion I gotta make you notice me!

All right, I'm gonna write smoothly with all my love So that me and you can be connected by happiness when you've received it I'm showing you my dreams as my characters dance around Hang in there, calligraphy pen, you've made it this far I'm totally serious

To my calligraphy pen, FUFU I might be being overdoing it, FUFU It seems I might be crushing it, but My handwriting's on a MISSION Red-hot TENSION Normal print is so boring

At the point where I close, the point where I stop This heart-throbbing is most definitely love "Please treat me well from here on out" I add that single phrase

My cheerful lettering is so shiny, look how well polished it is It'd be wonderful if they could go straight into your heart The running lines shine until they dry You'll have to wait, calligraphy pen, sorry, ballpoint pen You'll have to rest I'm totally serious

I imagine your smile And I want to show you my good points I grasp my passion I gotta make you notice me!

All right, I'm gonna write smoothly with all my love So that me and you can be connected by happiness when you've received it I'm showing you my dreams as my characters dance around Hang in there, calligraphy pen, you've made it this far I'm totally serious }}
