[English]

Like a megaphone

Change it to silent mode so you won't be noticed

Every day, every day, I've been polishing

It's a historic show, come and do it like this

Jump like a super ball

Just don’t care about anything else

Watch and see, the invincible acrobatics

Let’s get it, with elephants and giraffes

Bring out the fire

Ring, ring, ring, juggling,

We gon’ burn this down (Burn this down)

Clown rockstar

Ring, ding, ding, digi-ding,

We gon’ run this town (We gon’ run this town)

The show starts with a bang bang bang

From morning to night, play play play

Ready for the reins

Endless, round and round and round and round

The show must go on, with the fire cover still on

Focus, stand up, the curtain is now opening

Welcome to the zone

Feelin’ good right now, feelin’ good right now

The body starts to move

Feelin’ good right now, feelin’ good right now

As if everything is captivating

As if it's capturing my heart

So welcome to my home

Feelin’ good right now, feelin’ good right now (Ah yeah)

All, lights out

May I have your attention my ladies and gentlemen

Start of the second part

Ain’t nobody can’t do it like this

Let’s just start with a proper greeting

Panpalalala

Blow the trumpet, now fire the cannon, pow

Nanananana

The king is passing on the rope

Bring out the fire

Ring, ring, ring, juggling,

We gon’ burn this down (Burn this down)

Clown rockstar

Ring, ding, ding, digi-ding,

We gon’ run this town (We gon’ run this town)

The show starts with a bang bang bang

From morning to night, play play play

Ready for the reins

Endless, round and round and round and round

The show must go on, with the fire cover still on

Focus, stand up, the curtain is now opening

Welcome to the zone

Feelin’ good right now, feelin’ good right now

The body starts to move

Feelin’ good right now, feelin’ good right now

As if everything is captivating

As if it's capturing my heart

So welcome to my home

Feelin’ good right now, feelin’ good right now

Now, this is what you waiting for, oh yeah

The voice of intoxication is rising

Oh oh, there's nothing to hide

Oh oh, there's nothing to wither

The party is igniting

An encore that no one can stop

Let’s go

As if everything is captivating

As if it's capturing my heart

So welcome to my home

Feelin’ good right now, feelin’ good right now
