IBM recently announced their Watson computer is learning Japanese.

'Cause for an A.I. it is very well endowed

It's learning Spanish, a lot of Spanish
So it can talk to people en Espanol

Then it will learn the language of Portugal
And then it's moving on and learning more

It's learning Japanese, I think it's learning Japanese, I really think so
Learning Japanese, it's way beyond the A-B-C's, I really think so
Learning Japanese, it's gaining lots of expertise, I really think so
Learning Japanese, it's now expanding overseas, I really think so

It's playing Jeopardy and winning each time

That's why it's learning Japanese, I think it's learning Japanese, I really think so
Learning Japanese, and proper ways to serve green teas, I really think so
Learning Japanese, and cultivating bonsai trees, I really think so
Learning Japanese, and saying hello to kitties, I really think so

Learning Japanese, I think it's learning Japanese, I really think so
Learning Japanese, and growing exponentially, I really think so
Learning Japanese, and reading manga constantly, I really think so
Learning Japanese, and then it's on to - Cantonese?, I really think so
