The lyrics of Joshua S's song "Donat" are mostly about food and the importance of eating nutritious meals for good health. The song starts with the repetition of the singer's name, Joshua. Then he talks about different kinds of snacks or street foods in Indonesia, such as donat (a type of doughnut), combro (a fried pastry filled with oncom), tape (fermented sticky rice), and cendol (a drink made with coconut milk and pandan-flavored rice flour jelly). He also mentions his personal favorite foods, such as tahu tempe (tofu and tempeh, a type of fermented soybean cake) and perkedel (a potato patty).
The chorus emphasizes the importance of eating nutritious food and drinking milk. He encourages children to eat healthy and grow strong teeth. The second verse switches from food to a guessing game, where Joshua asks his friend Jojo to guess what he is describing based on their shape. The song ends with a playful exchange where Joshua pretends to be left behind by his friend.
