Lyrics[]
中川に浮かぶ 夕陽をめがけて
小石を蹴ったら 靴まで飛んで
ジョキングしていた 大工の頭領(かしら)に
ガキのまんまだと 笑われたのさ
どこかに元気を 落っことしても
葛飾亀有 アクビをひとつ
変わらない町並みが 妙にやさしいよ
中央広場で 子供の手を引く
太ったあの娘は 初恋の彼女(ひと)
ゴンパチ池で 渡したラブレター
今も持ってると からわれたよ
何にもいいこと なかったけど
葛飾水元 流れる雲と
ラプソディー口ずさみ 少し歩こうか
カラスが鳴くなら もう日が暮れるね
焼鳥ほうばり ビール飲もうか
トンガリ帽子の 取水塔から
帝釈天へと 夕陽が落ちる
明日もこうして 終わるんだね
葛飾柴又 倖せだって
なくして気がついた 馬鹿な俺だから
どこかに元気を 落っことしても
葛飾亀有 アクビをひとつ
変わらない町並みが 妙にやさしいよ
