Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So we two get together, we want, here we go
Get that little cupitain, you like this?
Dumdidi, dumdidi, dididumdum
One for the money, we say two for the show
So we two get together, we want, here we go
Get that little cupitain, you like this?
Ringdingding, ringdingdingding
Everybody, all dance and sing
Bananana-ding-ding.....
Comin' down, upside down
Inside out and come around
Comin' down, upside down
Inside out and come around
Comin' down, upside down
Inside out and come around
Comin' down, upside down
Inside out and come around
One, two, three, four, five
Watch that cordnet fishing life
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Wicked, let me put back that buck again
So much time, so much time
So much time for you
Dumdidi, dumdidi, dididumdum
So much time, so much time
So much time for you
Dumdidi, dumdidi, dididumdum
Dumdidi, dumdidi, dididumdum
Follow me, and beat down the drum
Shalalali, shalalali-heye
Hey, it's a holi-holi-holiday
Bananana-ding-ding.....
Techno, techno, techno, hey
You're wicked but we'll drive you mad
Techno, techno, techno, hey
