about

I have spoken to several Kirby fans online, and I decided to write a song for them.

lyrics

No color and no power upon my big premiere
And then within an hour I have kicked the penguin’s rear
Now I’m overinflated, spreading food across the land
This game was soon outdated, and too many found it bland
But I was a sensation when I got colored pink
And foe assimilation took my style beyond the brink
The concept was presented, and now it is my core
Forever I’m cemented as an omnivore
I proved that I am what I eat
And the concept is really quite neat
As my journey still extends on a path that seldom bends
It’s nice to share the journey with one of my new friends
An owl, a fish, a hamster if you wish
A parrot and a cat and some kind of seafood dish
With them each chore gets more done than before
No mess and no stress with the omnivore

I remember this one time when the powers I got were a blast
I could briefly combine two at once, but the concept was too good to last
But since those days, each power that I get gives me a new style
They also have multiple functions, and that makes all the players smile
And ever since I got like that
The UFO seems so bland and flat
Never before has my lunch
Been so quick to help pack a punch

It’s easy to remember names of places in the land where I live
And it’s mostly because a lot of them are so cute and alliterative
Dream Land is all about cuteness, and we’re all gonna stick to that plan
At least so it seems in Japan

But underneath the stripes and stars
I hang around in sports bars
I’m a macho fighter with stubble and battle scars
My favorite automobile
Is a motorcycle with one wheel
I got purpose in my eyes and nerves of steel
I fix my own hog and my GPS is all in my brain
I’m all about guns and grills and power tools, and I know how to dish out the pain

Wait, that reminds me, I’m still on the chase
To find something evil and mess up its face
All this calamity eats up my sanity
I’ll bet the final boss would even club a manatee
I still have extra lives just in case I should make a mistake
But if ever your energy dives, then you should take a break

It’s easy to lose track of time while playing my classic hits
But moderation is the key to keep your brains from turning to grits
The distance takes time to cross, but the time ain’t worth the loss
From the flowery hills to that scary final boss

Until now this adventure has been cheery and saccharine
Now I’m facing an abomination, sharp claws, glowing eyes, evil grin
It looks like the stuff from my nightmares, but I still have to give it my best
My games are never all that hard, so if I lose, folks will be unimpressed
I got skills and power to show
And I haven’t much further to go
See the grin become a frown
With its HP running down
As I give it the final blow
From multiple angles! Wham! Bam! Pow! Kaboooooooooooooom!

And so I saved the day, now Popstar is okay
And all the civil residents see me and shout “Hooray!”
We romp and play once more, which never is a bore
And there’s no higher score for the omnivore
