Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey! Mr.Smokey dog 今度こそ
奴らの鼻を明かしてやるぜ
たとえ 火の中 水の中
俺たちゃ とんでもねえー
Nasty guy
What are you up to next?
What are you up to next?
Hey! Boss, funky just a grace
Peace oh yeah!
そんなこっちゃ Come and get out
骨の髄までしみ込んだ Whisky,
お前も Come and get on
What are you up to next?
What are you up to next?
捜し当てろ!金のなる木を
今宵咲かせろ 鮮やかな悪の花
街は嵐を恐れ 眠りにつく

What are you up to next?
What are you up to next?
What are you up to next?




What are you up to next?
Mr.Smokey...
