Haru's Chase
Cécile Corbel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no joke ah ah ah
Ain't no lie, I swear to you
And I will prove it to you now
One is hiding in the kitchen
Are you scared? ah ah ah
One is hiding in a jar
I will chase you little people
I will never stop until you're caught
Like a rat in a trap
Spring cleaning time has come
I will chase you, I will find you
I will never stop until you're caught
Like a rat in a trap
I will never let you go
One is hiding in the storage
Are you scared? ah ah ah
One is hiding in a pot
I will never let them go
I will chase you little people
I will never stop until you're caught
Like a rat in a trap
Spring cleaning time has come
I will chase you, I will find you
I will never stop until you're caught
Like a rat in a trap
I will never let you go
