Ignore that Kou (to the tune of "Let It Snow")
Oh, monkey-Reishin outside is frightful
But the oranges he brings are delightful
And since he's too deranged to go
Ignore that Kou, ignore that Kou, ignore that Kou!
He doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've abandoned hope of him reforming
Let's turn the lights way down low
And ignore that Kou, ignore that Kou, ignore that Kou!
When we finally kiss good night
How he'll hiss and curse out in the storm!
And if I really hold you tight
I'm sure Seiran'll keep me from harm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as your uncle's loco,
I'll ignore that Kou, ignore that Kou, ignore that Kou!

Seiran's Yells (to the tune of "Silver Bells")
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in grand Kiyou style
With great flair, Kouchou draws in her business
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile,
And on Kougarou's corner you'll hear...
Seiran's yells, Seiran's yells
"It's time to play, Ojou-sama
"Erhu strings, make them sing
"Now it is your time to play"
King thought that night
It's late and might
Be a fantastic time
To ask his dear lady to supper
Forgot to ask her
If her bookkeeping master
Needed her for a while
Now she's missing and all that you hear...
Seiran's yells, Seiran's yells
"It's time to play, Ojou-sama
"Erhu strings, make them sing "
If you don't show, there's no pay!"

Ryuuki's Tryst (to the tune of "Jingle Bells")
Dashing through the court,
On a zig-zag, moonlit way
O'er the walls I go
Grinning all the way
Off to see my darling
Makes my spirits bright
What fun it is, escaping
To a midnight tryst tonight!
Oh!
Shouka-san, Reishin-san, (Kurou you don't count,
Please forgive me for intruding
On your family's noble grounds.
Shuurei's bed, I'll go check
And make sure she's asleep
Oh Seiran, ignore the noise so near,
(Pretend you don't hear me...)
A night or two ago,
Seiran, I think you saw me leave
When Shouka was about,
But dressed in ninja sleeves! (0_0)
Now since you love me dear,
And you can dodge his aim,
If Shouka asks what made Shuurei mad
Be a bro' and take the blame!
Oh!
Shouka-san, Reishin-san, (Kurou you don't count,
Please forgive me for intruding
On your family's noble grounds.
Shuurei's bed, I'll go check
And make sure she's asleep
Oh Seiran, ignore the noise so near,
(Pretend you don't hear me...)

I Saw Shuurei Kissing Shi Ryuuki (to the tune of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus")
I saw Shuurei kissing Shi Ryuuki
Underneath the cherry boughs last night
She didn't see me creep
To the garden to have a peep
She thought that I was away
Guarding the far grainery
Then, I saw Shuurei tickle Shi Ryuuki
Underneath the blossoms snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Shuurei kiss the Emperor last night
* * *
Seiran and Ryuuki (to the tune of "Frosty The Snowman")
Seiran and Ryuuki, the last princes in SaiMono
Live to set things right, and defeat their foe
And rebuild their family's throne
Seiran and Ryuuki, were brought together one day
Within palace walls, was it the will of the gods?
Their swords crossed, in destiny
There must have been some magic
In that pair of blades they gained
For when the younger found danger, his brother sensed the same.
Oh Seiran and Ryuuki, they're together at last
Too many years lost
At too high a cost,
Time to make up for the past
(I apologise, I couldn't make the 'brotherly cute' happen, but I tried for 'brotherhood'!)
