A little bit of love,
And a little bit of hate,
A little bit of guidance,
But our friendship is tight!
Together we stand,
Go hand in hand!
Hey hey hey!
We have reached the age to dream dreams!
Desires have begun to sprout in our hearts!
Ho ho ho ho lay lay lay
Ho ho ho ho lay lay lay
Ho ho ho ho... lay lay lay lay
