Lalalalala lalalala
Oh 햇살 눈부신 한가론 휴일
예쁜 새하얀 원피스를 입고 oh oh
난 집을 나섰지 콧노래 나오지

넌 나를 바라봐 넋을 놓고 또 봐
떨리는 목소리 네 맘엔 북소리
또 반짝이는 종소리가 울리지

It's so tasty, come and chase me
못 참겠어 I screamm you scream, gimme that, gimme that ice cream
Oh vanilla chocolate honey with a cherry on top
매일 다양하게 보여줄게 너에게만
무지갤 그려대는 저 분수대 보다 난
사랑을 그려내는 네게 좀 더 끌릴 거야
넌 나를 데리고 떠나 어서 떠나
조그만 스쿠터에 태워봐 oh 날
Uh 네 허릴 감싸는 내 손에 오늘이
다 가도 맘이 두근두근 거리지
