忍者 Ninja – Jay Chou 周杰伦
作詞：方文山
作曲：周杰倫
編曲：邁可林
居酒屋裡的小神龕 離鋪滿鵝卵石的玄關 差不多一米寬的信仰
我坐著喝味噌湯 在旁觀看 庭園假山
京都的夜晚 有一種 榻榻米 的稻香 叫做禪
那裡~神社許願 閃過一個畫面 這裡~忍者矇著臉 在角落吹暗箭
心裡~幕府又重現 從前老東京那條山手線 像一齣懷舊的默片
呵~~~ 呵~~~ 嘿~~~

伊賀流忍者的想法 嘿~ 只會用武士刀比劃 嘿~
我一個人在家 乖乖的學插花
(日文:是是是我知道了)
日文(一二三四) 櫻花落滿地 有一種神秘 凝結了空氣
日文(一二三四) 黑夜裡偷襲 去攻擊 煙霧當武器
日文(一二三四) 忍者的物語 要切斷過去 忠心是唯一
日文(一二三四) 隱身要徹底 要忘記 什麼是自己
