スリムボディもてもて
ヒップ振り振りで歩きたいわ
そんな日は
ロに入るだけのシュガー
放り込んでバーベル片手に
バレエダンサー
自分が可愛く見えてくる
自分もっと使ったら

綺麗になるよメキメキと
考えてしまい過ぎ
それは違う人になる
幸せはサーカスの
象に乗ってやって来るよ
ポップコーン食べてよう
それがカッコイイんだ
Katcho Bee-Bee-Boo

心の鼻効かない
居場所さえもわからないのなら
そんな日は
海に飛び込み背泳ぎ笛を鳴らし
太陽片手にスイムダンサー
呼吸もスーッと楽になってくる
頭よく使ったら
賢くなるよメキメキと
考えてしまい過ぎ
それはバカになってゆく
幸せはサーカスの
象に乗ってやって来るよ
5回シャンプーしておこう
それがカッコイイんだ
Katcho Bee-Bee-Boo

頭よく使ったら

賢くなるよメキメキと
考えてしまい過ぎ
それはバカになってゆく
幸せはサーカスの
象に乗ってやって来るよ
5回シャンプーしておこう
それがカッコイイんだ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 永井真理子's song Katcho Bee-Bee-Boo are a call to self-improvement and finding happiness through action. The first stanza describes the desire to have a slim and attractive body, and the pursuit of that through exercise and dance. However, the singer acknowledges that they sometimes get too wrapped up in their thoughts and lose sight of their original goal: to feel good about themselves. The second stanza shifts the focus to the mind, emphasizing the importance of challenging oneself intellectually and not falling into intellectual laziness. The chorus ties the two stanzas together, reminding us that happiness can be found in unexpected places and experiences, like riding an elephant at the circus or even just washing our hair five times.

The song seems to be encouraging listeners to not get bogged down by negative emotions or insecurities, but instead to take action and challenge themselves physically and mentally. There is also a sense of playfulness and lightheartedness in the lyrics, exemplified by the catchy "Katcho Bee-Bee-Boo" refrain. Overall, the song promotes a message of self-love, growth, and fun.
