Inky pinky ponky
The heart is a monkey
Monkey drive
The mind takes a dive
Inky pinky ponky
Inky ponky
Monkey heart
A girl comes along,
crushing my heart,
oh my!
She walks by,
leaving all the world's beauties
far behind!
Like a bursting firecracker,
she lights up everything as she comes!
Oh man, so effortlessly,
she walks in with style... come, come, come, come!
Hormones honk like a horn,
the frenzy rises, sounding a warning,
waking up every single morning,
from all the crazy dreams,
my head spins in confusion,
and not a bit of calm is left in my heart!
Inky pinky ponky
Male: The horn blares!
Female: The heart is a monkey!
Male: Sounds a warning!
Monkey drive
Male: Waking up in the morning!
Female: The mind takes a dive!
Male: The head spins around!
Smashing everything in its path,
love is bursting out...
Female: Crushing the heart...
I took a shot with my eyes closed,
and it turned into a goal, man!
I thought I got out,
but it turned out to be a no-ball, man!
The weather shifted completely,
and the sun became the moon, man!
Totally losing my chill,
it turned into an epic scene, man!
Hey.. hey.
Hey.. hit it!
Hey.. hit it..
Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it!
