The Lyrics
This is my 450th SJH IPASOY parody!!! This deals with the mistranslation by the USMC over the captured Japanese Type 89 "Knee Mortar" which was carried in the jungle on a Japanese soldier's knee- NOT fired from the bended leg!!! The Jarheads got it wrong and broke their hips, legs, and knees trying to fire a 50mm weapon from that position which also caused the mortar round to fly everywhere, posing a risk to fellow soldiers. The situation got so bad that an order was handed down to discard that weapon immediately!!!
Knee mortar injured you
Type 89
Mistranslation got you confused
No leg firin’
Jarheads kept tryin’
Marine Corps couldn’t stand it
Men actin’ like clowns
They should have known better
Base plate to be braced against the ground
[Not on the leg which caused fractures- Ouch!]
Knee mortar injured you
Type 89
Unkind
Stupid fools
Stupid fools
Stupid fools
Translation error
Mortar strapped there
Easy to carry
(Caused) leg-launch terror
[Discard order]
Lunacy!
Knee mortar injured you
Type 89

When the Japanese heard about the Marines bracing the mortar on their knees, they began building the Crotch Rocket and scattering them around the islands.
Patrick, all they had to do was leave some Type 100 SMGs lying around ;-)
I didn't think they had enough for anyone to find one.
True. In 1945 the Japanese were experimenting with many different weapons like the Type 5 Garand-style rifle and Type 38 modified to take 30 rd light MG mags! Then the Type 11 odd SMG and both Japanese versions of the Panxerfaust and Panzerschreck in 45mm and 90mm respectively! Add to this huge truck-mounted microwave weapons for home island defense as well as crude lunge mines for civilians!!! Bizarre...
