All day is a jolly day,
A holiday for all our worries!
In college life,
it's a holiday every day!
On the Everest of music,
we are a team climbing high,
a symphony creating victories!
This is a beautiful
colony of youth, yeah!
Novelties, so many... yeah!
All day is a jolly day,
A holiday for all our worries!
In college life,
it's a holiday every day!
Yeah yeah yeah!
Life is a, life is a game show!
Music is a thrill show!
Life is a, life is a game show!
Music is a thrill show!
Mambo mambo mambo mambo
Mambo mambo mambo
Mambo mambo mambo mambo
Doobadoobadoobadooba... yeah
Yay-yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah... oh-whoa-whoa...
Oh oh oh...
Inside this little heart,
there are a hundred thousand nerves;
what gently plucks at them,
what is its name? It's music!
The lifeline on our palm,
what makes it stretch even longer,
what has that power? It's music!
Bringing about a chemical change,
music is the real medicine!
Stirring up a physical longing,
soft melody is that very music!
Music flows alive with our soul!
Music is the true direction of this world!
Look at the magic this music makes!
Yeah yeah yeah!
All day is a jolly day,
A holiday for all our worries!
In college life,
it's a holiday every day!
Yeah yeah yeah!
Life is a, life is a game show!
Music is a thrill show!
Life is a, life is a game show!
Music is a thrill show!
Ho ho ho ho-oo
Ho ho ho ho-oo
Ho ho ho ho-oo
Doobadoobadoobadooba... yeah
Hey... hey... hey... hey...
Like a flower show,
is this life!
The fragrance rising from it
is youth's true nature!
To bandage and bind it up,
there is no fracture in the heart!
Enjoy life every single day!
To the tune of those lovebirds,
let us play our keyboard!
And the sweet voice of the cuckoos,
come, let us record it all digitally!
How can youth ever turn grey here?
There are no road limits holding us back!
This century is in our hands now!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
All day is a jolly day,
A holiday for all our worries!
In college life,
it's a holiday every day!
Yeah yeah yeah!
Life is a, life is a game show!
Music is a thrill show...
