I got a little ahead of myself and probably a bit too excited, and
realized tht after I hit that post button.  The lines were:
(singing) 
"あのこに あげよ。"then 
asking 
"あのこって だれ?"
the other line right after it was
"ともだちのことよ"  
"ともだちって、 なに?"
These are why I thought it meant something like tachi.  Hopefully the
japanese gets posted right, since I'm not sure totally on all of it
and want to make sure I don't botch it by adding spaces in romaji. 
thanks.
