Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mind right, money righ
Enjoy yourself tonight
I lost my phone, and I'm about to lose my voice tonight
I say I, I, I should be your choice tonight
I say I, I, I should be your choice tonight
Mind right, money right
Enjoy yourself tonight
I lost my phone, and I'm about to lose my voice tonight

I say I, I, I should be your choice tonight
I say I, I, I should be your choice tonight

[Chorus]
Areumdawo sarangseureowo
Geurae neo, hey, geurae baro neo, hey
Areumdawo sarangseureowo
Geurae neo, hey geurae baro neo, hey
Jigeumbuteo gal dekkaji gabolkka
Op, op, op, op
Oppa Gangnam Style

Gold chain, Magnum style
My homies gang bang, Gangnam Style
My money long like beach towels
They judging me, but I ain't on trial
I'm a Hot Boy, you barely mild
My flow hard like it's around
I take her down 'til she tap out
Sorry I'm gonna call you Mrs. Childs
I speak that Guapanese
We lightin' up that broccoli
I play with money, that's Monopoly
I don't believe in monogamy
Motherfuckin' star, I'mma need my spacers
Made a half a million today, ain't got no time for no fuckin' haters

[Chorus]

You sexy and you know it
Clap your hands, drink some Moet
Ballin so hard, but we don't need no refs
I took the elevator and used no steps
You think you sexy baby, put your hands high
I'm the bomb baby, landmine
And I like shoppin' in my spare time
You sexy and you know it
clap your hands, drink some Moet
You sexy and you know it
clap your hands, drink some Moet

Eh, sexy lady
Op, op, op, op

Oppa Gangnam Style
Gangnam Style
