[English]

Let's have fun, dingga dingga (ayy), gather your friends (ooh), wanna have a drink

Drink like a fish, like a fish, dingga dingga, ringa ringa

I love to play, ayy, dingga dingga, dingga dingga

Want to go get some ice cream? (Yeah; na na na na na, dingga dingga)

Relaxing here in my room

Since when did I become so distant from society?

Summer’s gone, and I’m sweating cold

Day or night, just spinning in the same place (alright)

Vitamin D’s lacking, yeah, such a waste with this delivery fee

Perfect weather, just my luck, I’m a homebody by nature

My friends are like gnats, and loneliness just piles up

I need time to detox

Let's have fun, dingga dingga (gather), gather your friends, and have a drink

Drink like a fish, like a fish, dingga dingga, ringa ringa

I love to play, yeah, dingga dingga, dingga dingga

Want to get ice cream? (Yeah; na na na na)

One, two, three, four, look ahead, why do you all look mad?

Things feel so cold these days, I just need sweet relief

I need to love myself, all I want is your heart

Oh me, oh my, ayy, oh (get on my back)

Watching dramas all day, can’t go for a drive (feeling blue)

Driving through phone games, time is ticking, don’t hold your breath

Youth fades away, where are you headed, my friend?

Dust off the stains, let’s walk together, let’s role play

Let's have fun, dingga dingga (ayy), gather your friends (gather), and have a drink

Drink like a fish, like a fish, dingga dingga, ringa ringa

I love to play, yeah, dingga dingga, dingga dingga

Want to get ice cream? (Yeah)

With us

Let’s have fun, dingga dingga, we all gotta get away

Shout out, ooh-ah, ooh-ah (break it)

Let’s have fun, dingga dingga, baby, do you wanna dance?

Uh, ooh-ah

Na na na na na

Na na na na na

Na na na na na

Let's dingga dingga

Let’s have fun, dingga dingga, gather your friends, and have a drink

Drink like a fish, like a fish, dingga dingga, ringa ringa

I love to play, ayy, dingga dingga, dingga dingga

Want to get ice cream? (Yeah)

With us

Let’s have fun, dingga dingga, we all gotta get away

Shout out, ooh-ah, ooh-ah (break it)

[Japanese]

딩가딩가할래 (ayy), 친구들 모아 (ooh), 한잔 할래

Drink like a, like a, like a fish (fish), 딩가딩, 링가링

노는 게 좋아, ayy, 딩가딩가, 딩가딩가

Ice cream 먹으러 갈래? (Yeah; 나나나나나, 딩가딩가)

유유자적해, 여기 방구석에

언제부터인지 사회와의 거리가 꽤나 멀지

이 여름이 다 지났네, 차가운 땀이 나네

밤이나 또 낮이나 제자리만 돌고 돌아 (alright)

부족해 비타민 D (yah), 아까워요 delivery fee (-very fee)

하필 완벽하네 날씨, 청개구리 난 원래 집순이야

내 친구는 날파리고, 외로움만 쌓이죠

해독할 시간이 필요해

딩가딩가할래, 친구들 모아 (모아), 한잔 할래

Drink like a, like a, like a fish (fish), 딩가딩 (딩가딩, 링가링)

노는 게 좋아, yeah, 딩가딩가, 딩가딩가

Ice cream 먹으러 갈래? (Yeah; 나나나나나)

One, two, three, four, 네 앞을 봐, 왜 다들 화나 있어?

요즘 너무 삭막해, 그저 달콤한 휴식이 필요해

I need to love myself, all I need is your heart

Oh me, oh my, ayy, oh (get on my back)

드라마만 정주행해, 드라이브는 못 가네 (찌뿌둥해)

폰 게임으로 주행, time is ticking, ticking, don't hold your breath

젊은 날이 fade out, 어디 가니 친구야?

쌓인 먼지 털어, 우리끼리 걸어, let's role play

딩가딩가할래 (ayy), 친구들 모아 (모아), 한잔 할래

Drink like a, like a, like a fish (fish), 딩가딩 (딩가딩, 링가링)

노는 게 좋아, yeah, 딩가딩가, 딩가딩가

Ice cream 먹으러 갈래? (Yeah)
