Translation please!

I was on the net being bored and surfing through some videos and I stumbled upon one that plays a very catchy Japanese tune. I was wondering if someone could translate this song, I don't plan on asking someone to translate every song I hear, don't worry, I just really want to know what he says in this one!! Here's the link...
Translate the song please!

This lyrics do not especially have the meaning.
It is difficult to translate because it is word play.
i like this tv-show. i see it every week.

Song of Pitagora Souchi No.41
Lyric: Satou Masahiko, Uchino Masumi
Music: kurihara Masami
Song: Kusaka Yoshiaki

Air pump descended Red ball roll when Minicar runs
Hammer
Gear Gear whirl
sprang out from a box, Bii-dama(marble) Bii-suke
Tunnel whirl whirl
Bii-dama Bii-suke get dizzy
leaves it from Paper-cup-car
Little-cup-car tumbled
zigzag slope cautiously cautiously cautiously
anyway slope cautiously cautiously cautiously lonely journey
Liaison man satisfactory
uphill let's go such a slope go go let's go arrive
No thinking time Marble disappeared Wait!
roll out roll on the rail steadily rolling
at last there is an Arrow-car
direction is indicated by an arrow Goal!
this is song of Pitagora Souchi No.41

I got more of those. Just so happened that when I was at a friend's house, he was showing this April Fool's anime episode for bleach, but was actually a collection of Pitagora Switch.

I didn't know it was a series. Too bad I don't have NHK on TV, and even if I do, I don't know when it airs.
