To-to-ro, Totoro! Who leaves the seeds, For you to find? Follow them and you will see, a treasure there. Then plant the seeds, and help them grow! It may seem the like a dream, things are not what they seem. Now begins a new adventure for you! And you'll be with To-to-ro, Totoro! To-to-ro, Totoro! Living in the forest trees, for such a very, very long time! There you'll be with To-to-ro, Totoro! To-to-ro, Totoro! You only see him when your very young, a magical adventure for you! It's magic for you. Rain tumbles down... the bus is late. Suddenly, a furry wet giant is by your side! Don't be afraid... just open wide! Your umbrella for him, watch him play in the rain! Now begins a new adventure for you! And you'll be with To-to-ro, Totoro! To-to-ro, Totoro! And on a moonlit night, he plays a magic flute in the sky! There you'll be with To-to-ro, Totoro! To-to-ro, Totoro! You only see him when your very young, a magical adventure for you! It's magic for you. -- "My Neighbor Totoro", Written and Directed by Hayao Miyazaki
