Ku pergi ke pesta
Pesta meriah
Ulang tahun kawanku
Semua yang datang bergaya ceria
Berdansa dan gembira
Lincah gayanya dandanan masa kini
Ingin hatiku mencium pipinya
Tapi malu rasanya
Oh hip hip hura hura (hura hura)
Aku suka dia (suka dia)
Aku jatuh cinta (jatuh cinta)
Dia menanti cinta bersemi di hati
Di tengah pesta kulihat si dia
Lincah gayanya dandanan masa kini
Ingin hatiku mencium pipinya
Tapi malu rasanya
Oh hip hip hura hura (hura hura)
Aku suka dia (suka dia)
Aku jatuh cinta (jatuh cinta)
Dia menanti cinta bersemi di hati
Oh hip hip hura hura (hura hura)
Aku suka dia (suka dia)
Aku jatuh cinta (jatuh cinta)
Sungguh suka dia (suka dia)
Sungguh jatuh cinta (jatuh cinta)
