Ultimate-u tomato rice..
Tomato rice… tomato rice..
Out of this world!
Tomato rice!
Tomato rice, tomato rice!
Look at my girl,
Papaya-smooth skin!
Papaya skin, papaya skin!
Crisp, sharp, and stunning,
You were born just for me!
Neat, trim, and handsome,
I have grown up just for you!
Like intoxicating white wine,
Just to woo and win you,
I'm plotting my moves, my sweet darling,
Turn around and look at me... ah...
You're a smiling peacock,
Pure style when you walk!
Hearing your voice, you're a sweet cuckoo,
You are warm sunshine in winter chill!
Out of this world!
Tomato rice!
Tomato rice, tomato rice!
Look at my girl,
Papaya-smooth skin!
Papaya skin, papaya skin!
Ah... ah...
...
I am not the game that suits you,
Maybe I am not the girl for you!
Like a rainbow all year round,
A cute queen, full of colors!
She came before me and blew my mind,
She made this timid boy panic in love!
She is a statue sculpted
Out of melted platinum!
With a gaze as sharp as a blade,
She is murdering me!
She is a rose walking down the street,
In beauty, she is top class!
An angel, pure energy juice,
Will my first love get approved, boss?
Out of this world!
Chorus: ...
Out of this world...
...
Out of this world!
Tomato rice!
Tomato rice, tomato rice!
Look at my girl,
Papaya-smooth skin!
Papaya skin, papaya skin!
Crisp, sharp, and stunning,
You were born just for me!
Neat, trim, and handsome,
I have grown up just for you!
Like intoxicating white wine,
Just to woo and win you,
I'm plotting my moves, my sweet darling,
Turn around and look at me... ah...
You're a smiling peacock,
Pure style when you walk!
Hearing your voice, you're a sweet cuckoo,
You are warm sunshine in winter chill!
Ultimate tomato rice...
Tomato rice... tomato rice...
