You find DU DU DU DU DU DU funny?

What’s so funny about a headache?

What’s so funny about A-class vibes?

An outsider An alien

Treat me however you want, I’m brazen

Funny funny If I made you laugh,

This time, I’ll crack you up

You can tell that I am born to be a clown

You want to fly high with me?

Hold up

Froze because it was funny Parmesan Cheese

Your single word makes the mood Freeze

You have no sense of humor, Cheese

Jeez Jeez

I love what you hate

No matter what you say, I think they’re so funny

Thank you, I love it

Here comes a big nonsense party

Index, middle, ring and little fingers what

Fold your index, middle, ring and little fingers what

You bite, chew, taste, and enjoy

Don’t keep a straight face, smile

All our hard effort is just another laughingstock to you.

My tongue shotgun loaded

Do what you do, I don’t care

You wish I’d fail? Only in you dream

Index, middle, ring and little fingers what
