(Chihuahua)

Oh, chihuahua

I'm walking in the street

And the moon shines bright

A little melody keeps spinning on my mind tonight

I gotcha

It's the song about chihuahua

Yeah, that's cool alright (Chihuahua)

It was fun

And a life without sorrow

Feels young

When you think about tomorrow

Say yo

When you're about to freak out

Just go and then shout it out loud

Chihuahua here

Chihuahua there

Everybody wants it everywhere

Sing it loud

And life can be so easy (Chihuahua)

What can make you move? (Chihuahua)

Can you feel the groove? (Chihuahua)

What can make you dance? (Chihuahua)

Oh, chihuahua (chihuahua)

What can make you sing? (Chihuahua)

Take it and you win (Chihuahua)

What can bring you joy? (Chihuahua)

Oh, chihuahua

I'm driving in my car, looking for a parking space

There it is, my place, someone else wins the race, no

I give up, today is not my day

But then take a deep breath and say

"Come down, when you're about to go crazy

Turn around and feel as fresh as a daisy

Just run because it's time to go

Have fun and let the whole world know" (Chihuahua)

Chihuahua here, Chihuahua there

Everybody wants it everywhere

Sing it loud and life can be so easy (Chihuahua)

What can make you move? (Chihuahua)

Can you feel the groove? (Chihuahua)

What can make you dance? (Chihuahua)

Oh, chihuahua (Chihuahua)

What can make you sing? (Chihuahua)

Take it and you win (Chihuahua)

What can bring you joy? (Chihuahua)

Oh, chihuahua (Chihuahua)
