Hoo ooh...
Hey, the crane is flying,
the cuckoo is flying,
right over our chest!
Crabs are crawling,
foxes are creeping,
right over our heads!
Ho ooh...
Ah, the crane is flying,
the cuckoo is flying,
right over our chest!
Crabs are crawling,
foxes are creeping,
right over our heads!
Hey, just like the spinning
earth, we roam
all around the town!
With the money our father earned,
we float in the breeze!
Hey, living a life
drawn inside limits
does not suit us at all!
Without plotting and roaming around,
our day doesn't even begin!
Hey, all our lives,
we will burst sky rockets!
In the cold wind, with youthful swagger,
we will bump heads and take on anything!
Hey, on the tar road,
beer bottles
we smash and walk away!
To the crowd that tries to stop
our game of PUBG,
we'll stir up trouble!
Hey, around this town,
we don't have a good name,
even so, our swagger
has never faded!
Hey, TikTok is gone
and now Instagram is trending!
For all the people out there,
the mobile phone is now home!
Hey-ey-ey...
Male: Hey, the crane is flying,
the cuckoo is flying,
right over our chest!
Crabs are crawling,
foxes are creeping,
right over our heads!
Hey, the crane is flying,
the cuckoo is flying,
right over our chest!
Crabs are crawling,
foxes are creeping,
right over our heads!
Hoo oo ho ooh...
Hoo ooh hoo ooh ooh ooh...
