[English]

Whoa!

Oh~

Babe~

Oh Yeah~

Come on!!

Huh!!!

Yeah~

Running and jumping, those headphones are already connected

Singing loudly while working, not caring about the mess

Quickly report to me every progress

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa

Feeling deflated but dancing, I love to dance, let’s take the world two steps

(Self-reflection)

It’s really not difficult

(Not focused enough)

It’s just universal, not too profound

Clearly, there’s often a surge of heat inside, not caring about my appearance

The tie is tied well enough~

Clearly, there’s no way to be proud

Why does everyone in the room immediately stand up to pay respect?

Cos I’m your boss

Baby tonight I do got ya dancing finally

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

Spin a few more times, loosen that mood

Come and gid it, come and gid it, come and gid it, can’t you see

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

Come and release the bitterness, fix that malfunction

I’m most afraid, you’re also afraid, that our brains will deteriorate

Have you sat enough? Have you sat enough? Your legs will oxidize

Tap it up tap~ it up tap~ it up tap~ it up

Even if it’s fake, I’m too lazy to take a leave

He with her, she with him, wanting to create fireworks

Have you saved enough? Have you saved enough? Time to explode recklessly

Gotta be crazy,

Listen up baby,

Put you off lazy,

Stand up I’m your boss

Unbutton the cuffs, loosen the tight collar button

Let’s dance to 8 beats, why not boldly count to 9

Don’t be shy, twist your shoulders

Um.........Come on

There are many neurotic things, all under my control

Rarely have I calculated for half the night

To relieve boredom, which style to choose

Clearly, no one can see this kind of perseverance

Even without a party, I’ll enjoy myself

Want the flashlights to be set right~

Clearly, there’s no way to be proud

Why does everyone in the room immediately stand up to pay respect?

Cos I’m your boss

Baby tonight I do got ya dancing finally

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

Spin a few more times, loosen that mood

Come and gid it, come and gid it, come and gid it, can’t you see

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

Come and release the bitterness, fix that malfunction

I’m most afraid, you’re also afraid, that our brains will deteriorate

Have you sat enough? Have you sat enough? Your legs will oxidize

Tap it up tap~ it up tap~ it up tap~ it up

Even if it’s fake, I’m too lazy to take a leave

He with her, she with him, wanting to create fireworks

Have you saved enough? Have you saved enough? Time to explode recklessly

Gotta be crazy,

Listen up baby,

Put you off lazy,

Stand up I’m your boss

I want to take you to the highest

So exhilarating that it’s better to be irrational

Gotta move it on, cause we won’t stop

The momentum is paramount, must achieve it quickly

High notes can ignite the furnace

Low notes can roll up the robe

Not about the money

All about the show

You and I are sweating, what a great scene

On stage, lasers continue to dream and wander

Energy ping pong, you look at me, we sweat together

I have more tricks than a bell, wanting to clear out my stamina

You kidding me?

Cos I’m your boss

Baby tonight I do got ya dancing finally

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

Spin a few more times, loosen that mood

Come and gid it, come and gid it, come and gid it, can’t you see

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

Come and release the bitterness, fix that malfunction

I’m most afraid, you’re also afraid, that our brains will deteriorate

Have you sat enough? Have you sat enough? Your legs will oxidize

Tap it up tap~ it up tap~ it up tap~ it up

Even if it’s fake, I’m too lazy to take a leave

He with her, she with him, wanting to create fireworks

Have you saved enough? Have you saved enough? Time to explode recklessly

Gotta be crazy,

Listen up baby,

Put you off lazy,

Stand up I’m your boss

[Chinese]

Whoa！

Oh~

Babe~

Oh Yeah~

Come on !!

huh !!!

Yeah~

賽跑 跳高 那耳機早接通

一邊高歌 一邊開工 一邊不修邊幅

快向我報告 每個進度

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa

洩氣到跳舞 我最愛跳舞 帶世界跳兩步

(自我檢討)

實在沒難度

(未夠專心)

就是萬能吧 未算深奧

明明時常心底得一股熱力 未介意過我造型

領呔打得可夠~好

明明無從心高氣傲

為何全場人 即刻 起身 致敬

Cos I’m your boss

Baby tonight I do got ya dancing finally

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

迴旋多幾圈 鬆開那心情

Come and gid it, come and gid it, come and gid it, can’t you see

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

來排出辛酸 修補那失靈

我最怕 你也怕 個腦會退化

坐夠嗎 坐夠嗎 對腳會氧化

Tap it up tap~ it up tap~ it up tap~ it up

有假也 懶請假

他跟她 她跟他 想開出煙花

儲夠嗎 儲夠嗎 要放肆爆炸

Gotta be crazy,

listen up baby,

put you off lazy,

Stand up I’m your boss

解開袖口 解開緊箍嘅頸喉鈕

同我跳8拍 不如大膽數到9

唔好怕醜 膊頭扭一扭

Um.........Come on

神經質的東西很多 統統都受我管

難得試過計較半晚

解一個悶 曲式揀哪款

明明無人可睇到這種毅力

沒派對也會盡情

要閃光燈都校好~

明明無從心高氣傲

為何全場人 即刻 起身 致敬

Cos I’m your boss

Baby tonight I do got ya dancing finally

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

迴旋多幾圈 鬆開那心情

Come and gid it, come and gid it, come and gid it, can’t you see

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

來排出辛酸 修補那失靈

我最怕 你也怕 個腦會退化

坐夠嗎 坐夠嗎 對腳會氧化

Tap it up tap~ it up tap~ it up tap~ it up

儲夠嗎 儲夠嗎 要放肆爆炸

Gotta be crazy,

listen up baby,

put you off lazy,

Stand up I’m your boss

我要帶你到最高

痛快到欠理智更好

Gotta move it on, cause we won’t stop

氣勢至上 要儘快做到

高音可燒起熔爐

低音可捲起長袍

Not about the money

All about the show

你我有汗 畫面多好

台上激光 繼續發夢繼續遊蕩

能量ping pong 你望我望拍住流汗

我法寶多過叮噹 想將我體力清倉

You kidding me?

Cos I’m your boss

Baby tonight I do got ya dancing finally

Rum bum bum bum bum ba dum

迴旋多幾圈 鬆開那心情

Come and gid it, come and gid it, come and gid it, can’t you see
