[English]

Do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do, a scale climbing up and getting louder

Unlike those notes, my challenge is on a whole other level, knocking down every target

I don't hold back, I top it all and devour it

(Ding-ding-ding pizza) Huh? Just like the franchise headquarters

Everyone's modeling themselves after me, yeah, they're all watching closely

Keep your eyes locked, though you pretend not to and glance sideways, yeah

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, you can't hide it even if you try

In the war of the small birds, the stork finds it all tedious

Setting up my ambitions

One by one they're completed, I made it

Now it's time for ignition

It starts with me, and the rest move along

The domino effect, oh, oh, oh

Fuel the fire more, oh, oh, no

Everyone gather round now, now, line up right here

No one is an exception

With one little push, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

With one little push, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

Dan, dan, dan, dan

Play, just play around

With one gesture, everyone's attention, pay attention

I don't play, I drop the smile completely

Creating a huge sensation, yeah (like domino)

Ayy, one tap on the domino and they crash down (crash down)

Yah, rumble and boom, they all shatter with just a breath, blah, blah

Okay, keep rowing to the end, my nickname is the bulldozer

Even if you fall, follow me while crawling on the ground

One joke and everyone around me is doubling over laughing

To the boss with the dad jokes, know your place and step aside

The kid who could understand ten things from knowing one

With one tilt of the head, a million riddles are solved

Setting up my ambitions

One by one they're completed, I made it

Now it's time for ignition

It starts with me, and the rest move along, the domino effect

The domino effect, oh, oh, oh

Fuel the fire more, oh, oh, no

Everyone gather round now, now, line up right here

No one is an exception

With one little push, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

With one little push, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

Dan, dan, dan, dan

Play, just play around

With one gesture, everyone's attention, pay attention

I don't play, I drop the smile completely

Creating a huge sensation, yeah (like domino)

Touch them slightly and they bounce back stubbornly

But it's obvious, they'll eventually fall

They can't hide the looks they give me

Now they're just expressing their hearts through envy and jealousy

Hey, my never-ending domino

Hey, my never-ending domino

One by one, go down, down, down, down

One by one, they follow

With one little push, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

With one little push, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

Like domino

[Korean]

도레미파솔라시도, 차례로 올라가서 커지는 scale

음, 시도와는 엄연히 다른 내 도전은 여럿 도장을 깨

음, 가리는 거 없어 싹 다 토핑해서 씹어 먹어

(땡땡땡 피자) 음? 프랜차이즈 본점처럼

나를 본떴네 그래 다들 예의 주시해

시선 고정해 아닌 척 다 곁눈질로, yeah

Yeah, I know, yeah, I know, 숨길래도 티가 나지

뱁새들의 전쟁 속에서 황새는 귀찮네

Setting up my ambitions

하나둘씩 완성돼, I made it

Now it's time for ignition

나부터 시작돼 뒤따라 움직여

도미노 효과, oh, oh, oh

더 불을 지펴, oh, oh, no

모두 몰려와 now, now, 줄 세워 여기 다

누구도 예외는 없어

한번 까딱하면, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

한번 까딱하면, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

Dan, dan, dan, dan

Play 갖고 놀아

손짓 하나로 다 attention, pay attention

I don't play, 웃음기 싹 빼고

크게 일으켜 sensation, yeah (like domino)

Ayy, 도미노 툭 치면 무너져 후드드드드 (후드드드드)

Yah, 우르르 쾅 입김만 불어도 다 부서져, blah, blah

Okay, 끝까지 노 저어, 내 별명은 불도저

다들 넘어져도 포복 자세로 날 따라 follow

유머 한방에 주변 다 배꼽 잡아 넘어가

아재 개그 부장님은 낄끼빠빠 빠져라

하나를 알면 열을 알던 아이

고개 한번 까딱하면 백만 스무고개 넘어가

Setting up my ambitions

하나둘씩 완성돼, I made it

Now it's time for ignition

나부터 시작돼 뒤따라 움직여, 도미노 효과

도미노 효과, oh, oh, oh

더 불을 지펴, oh, oh, no

모두 몰려와 now, now, 줄 세워 여기 다

누구도 예외는 없어

한번 까딱하면, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

한번 까딱하면, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

Dan, dan, dan, dan

Play 갖고 놀아

손짓 하나로 다 attention, pay attention

I don't play, 웃음기 싹 빼고

크게 일으켜 sensation, yeah (like domino)

살짝 건들면 억지로 튕겨

봤자 뻔히 보이지 결국엔 쓰러져

나를 보는 표정들을 다 못 숨겨

괜히 지금 맘을 시기 질투로 표현

Hey, 끝나지 않는 내 domino

Hey, 끝나지 않는 내 domino

One by one, go down, down, down, down

One by one, they follow

한번 까딱하면, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

한번 까딱하면, domino, domino

Domino, domino, domino, domino, domino

Like domino
