Ay, iyaiyai
A-a-a iyaiyai,
Where's my samurai
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Where's my samurai
Where's my samurai
I've been searching for a man
All across Japan
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who is strong
But still a little shy
Yes I need, I need my samurai
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Where's my samurai
Where's my samurai
I've been searching in the woods
And high upon the hills
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who won't regret
To keep me in his net
Yes I need, I need my samurai
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
