Why so much tension in life, girl? Be a cool dude!
Grab a bucket of chicken and some coffee
Eat well and go to sleep, cool dude!
When you're introducing your guy best friend
If the boy you secretly chat with walks in, cool dude!
When the lights come on during the movie interval
If you spot your ex's face, cool dude!
If you watch a romantic scene too intently
Your family will glare at you
Just when you're deleting your search history
Your sister comes and stomps on you
Oh no, oh no!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
I'm standing here caught red-handed!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
My heart is stuttering!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
I'm standing here caught red-handed!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
My heart is stuttering!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, I'm running off somewhere
Right now, my eyes are welling up
Somehow, somehow, I keep leaping around
Hey hey hey yeah
Cuckoo, cuckoo, I'm running off somewhere
Right now, my eyes are welling up
Somehow, somehow, I keep leaping around
Hey hey hey yeah
When faced with a terribly boring lecture
Pretend you have a doubt and hold up the book, cool dude!
When they post unsolicited advice in the family group
Instantly throw a meme back, cool dude!
Right when you use a cheat sheet in the exam
A sudden gust of wind blows, cool dude!
While you're chatting in the middle of the night
A message from dad pops up, cool dude!
If the boy next door checks you out
You're in for boiling hot soup!
If someone looks through your phone's gallery
Panic strikes and sparks fly!
Oh no, oh no!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
I'm standing here caught red-handed!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
My heart is stuttering!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh no!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, I'm running off somewhere
Right now, my eyes are welling up
Somehow, somehow, I keep leaping around
