Let's dinga-dinga Gather my friends, have a drink

Drink like a fish

Dinga-dinga, ringaring I love to have fun, yeah

Dinga-dinga, dingadinga Want to go get some ice cream

Na na na na Dinga-dinga

Living freely Right here in my room

Since when? I’ve been feeling pretty distant from society

Summer’s almost gone Cold sweat’s coming on

Night or day Just spinning in the same place

Missing Vitamin D Such a shame to waste the delivery fee

Perfect weather, of all days I’m a homebody by nature

My friend’s a fly Just piling up loneliness

I need time to detox

Let’s dinga-dinga Gather my friends, have a drink

Drink like a fish

Dinga-dinga, ringaring I love to have fun, yeah

Dinga-dinga, dingadinga Want to go get some ice cream

Na na na na

One, two, three, four Look forward, why so angry?

Lately, everything feels so dull I just need a sweet break

I need to love myself All I need is your heart

Oh me, oh my, yeah

I binge-watch dramas only Can't go for drives, feeling tired

Driving with mobile games Time keeps ticking, ticking

Don’t hold your breath

Youth is fading out Where are you headed, my friend?

Dust off and walk together Let’s role play

Let’s dinga-dinga Gather my friends, have a drink

Drink like a fish

Dinga-dinga, ringaring I love to have fun, yeah
