~ Puns clarifications ~
Most of the puns in the song are on phrases with different meanings but have the same pronunciations.
Futon/Futton (布団 / 吹っ飛ん): First phrase refers to the Japanese-style mattress, second one with almost the same pronunciation, meaning "blown off"
Neko/Nekoronda (ネコ / 寝転んだ): First phrase, cat and second one, also containing the word 'neko' meaning "lie down"
Toriniku/Torinikui (鶏肉 / とりにくい): Again, first word and second word have the same pronunciation. First one is "chicken meat", while the other term is an adjective, which in this context is "difficult to pick up"
Dokan / Dokkaan (土管 / どっかーん): Kanji and hiragana, the Dokan is an "earthen pipe", while the other is a sound effect of an explosion.
Denwa/den wa (電話 / でんわ): Kanji/Hiragana forms. The first one is 'telephone', and the second one is actually hiragana form of '出んわ'which has various meanings but in this context means "to answer".
Kare/Kare (カレー / かれえ): First term is 'curry', second term is a slang form of 'karai (辛い)' which means "spicy", making the sentence mean 'the curry is very spicy'.
Kondoru/merikondoru (コンドル/めりコンドル): First phrase is 'condor', a vulture-like bird. Second phrase means "sinking into the ground (base verb 'merikomu' 減り込む)", incorporating 'condor' into the phrase, and is ironic because birds are supposed to fly, not sink.
Densha/Denshai (電車 / でんしゃい): Kanji/Hiragana, and another pun that plays on '出ん' only in a different setting with different meaning. First term is "electric train", second one is "出んしゃい", which in this context means "arrived".
Monoreru/mo noreru (モノレール / も乗れる) Pun with "monorail" and "to ride"
Kokudou/kokudo (国道 / こくどー) Kanji/Hiragana, second phrase is hiragana form of '放く', meaning "release", used in the context of a fart. Therefore the whole sentenceliterally means "farting on the railway station/national highroad"
Masao/massao (まさお / 真っ青): pun of the person noun Masao (a name) and "getting pale"
Toire/ittoire (トイレ / 行っトイレ): First phrase is "toilet", second phrase is "to go inside", written in katakana to emphasize the similarity.
Un...kokode/unkokode! (うーん・・・ ここで/ うんここで): 'un koko' means 'hm...here' while if spaced differently, 'unko' means 'feces', hence the pun.
Hiyashichūka/hiyashi chūka (冷やし中華 /冷やし中か): In Kanji, the first phrase 'Hiyashichuka' is a Japanese dish made up of chilled noodles, while the hiragana version means "now cooling off", and the pun would be "the chilled noodles are now being chilled"
Chaina/itcha i na (チャイナ / 行っちゃいな): First phrase is romanized version of 'China' and second one is 'don't go'
Naiyō/nai yō (内容 / 無いよう) Pun of the Japanese phrase for "innards, content" and "empty", which is a fancy was of saying "there's nothing inside (this)'
English translation
The mattress is flying away, the cat is lying down
This chicken meat is hard to pick up
The earthen pipe exploded, the phone is being answered
The Indian curry is super spicy
Puns, talk about them
Puns, talk to you
Puns, put words together
The condor is flying away
And then sinks into the ground
Puns! Come on! Lemon! Salmon!
The train is coming, ride the monorail
Farting while on the railroad
Masao is pale in the face, going to the toilet
Hmm....it's here, hmm it's here!
Puns, talk about them
Puns, making merry with you
Puns, everyone laughs
The hiyashi chuka is being chilled
Don't go to China
Uhoon, international, international, international, Yeah
Uhoon, international, international, international, Yeah
Uhoon, international, international, international, Uninternational, Yeah
There is nothing in here
But the happy feelings is great!
