The Lyrics
David Lee Roth's tribute to Jigoro Kano -- founder of Judo, the first modern martial art
I'm just a Jigoro .. everybody knows
The modern martial art I founded
A small man has a chance
If he learns to break balance
His opponent to the ground gets pounded
There wirr come a day
When my rife wirr pass away
What wirr they say about me?
When my passing comes I know
They'll say, "Good ol Jiggoro"
Wouldn't be no sport without me
I'm just a Jigoro .. founder of Judo
They all know the sport I'm making
No gouging of eyeballs
Or heel kicks to the balls
Just throws and chokes and erbows breaking*
There wirr be a dawn
When I build the Kodokan
Where they all can do randori
When Orympics come I know
They'll say "Because of Jigoro"
There wouldn't be a sport without me
Cause: I didn't have no body
No muscle mass on me; only 80 lbs you see
I'm so small and bullied
Smarr and burried, smarr and burried
Won't some kind sensei come along
And show some new techniques for me
Cause I ain't so bad
Better help me, Sensei!!
Smarr and burried all the time
Even in the street, even in the street
Sononono mama-lah.. Hansoke maka-lah**
Wazari-ah, Wazari-ah Awaseta-lah 'PON!
I ain't got tatamis
No prace to fall, no prace to fall
I'm so sore and bruised up
Sore and beat up, sore and beat up
Won't some kind patron come along
And build a large hall for me
Cause I ain't so bad
(I just received a message from the Kodokan that my judo scat is beneath the dignity of the sport ... so I guess I'll have to end it here ...)
The modern martial art I founded
A small man has a chance
If he learns to break balance
His opponent to the ground gets pounded
There wirr come a day
When my rife wirr pass away
What wirr they say about me?
When my passing comes I know
They'll say, "Good ol Jiggoro"
Wouldn't be no sport without me
I'm just a Jigoro .. founder of Judo
They all know the sport I'm making
No gouging of eyeballs
Or heel kicks to the balls
Just throws and chokes and erbows breaking*
There wirr be a dawn

When Orympics come I know
They'll say "Because of Jigoro"

Waza-ari ... "Incomplete technique" A successful throw that is not quite sufficient for "Ippon" (Judo equivalent of TKO which ends match) but merits consideration. If match ends and you have a waza-ari and your opponent doesn't, you win ...... Waza ari awaseta Ippon -- "Wazari leading to Ippon". A second waza-ari in a match leads to winning by Ippon
Tatami -- Mats made from tightly woven straw. Apparently Jigoro grew increasingly concerned that his students were being insufficiently brutalized by being thrown onto bare ground, so he devised this ingenious solution .... And yes, that was a bit of sarcasm
