[English]

The funk is back, motherfucker

I was making a demo with your wife and all that

I reach the stardom that made her happy

Putting my body into it to make her laugh

Because her husband is a cop

And her kids in a row who applaud me

Because I have a guitar and because it sounds like this

Because it sounds like this

Flying helicopters in the garden

They watch me because I have a purpose

I'm the one in charge of ruining your feast

If I feel like it

Because I'm in the mood for an unusual sound

I will turn your bed into an animal speaker

Listen to it moan, baby

How toxic you are, mommy

The dog melted on us

It's time to take control

And buy a better one

One that barks for freedom

And gives us a solution

It's time to take control

And move this nation

Because I'm in the mood for an unusual sound

I will turn your bed into an animal speaker

Listen to them moan, baby

Flying helicopters in the garden

The rose that sticks its thorn into the jasmine

I cut your privet hedge shaped like a dolphin

So it swims in my face

If migrations come, tell them I'm already gone

That I've wired everything I gave you

That I've already crossed the border

Because I'm in the mood for an unusual sound

I will turn your bed into an animal speaker

Listen to it moan, baby

Start saving up to buy yourself a pillow

Because we're going to kick your ass

Start saving up to buy yourself a pillow

Because we're going to kick your ass

Start saving up to buy yourself a pillow

Because we're going to kick your ass

Start saving up to buy yourself a pillow

[Spanish]

The funk is back motherfucker

Estaba haciendo un demo con tu esposa y así

Alcanzo el estrellato que la hizo feliz

Metiendo mi organismo para hacerla reír

Porque su esposo es cana

Y sus hijos en fila que me aplauden a mí

Porque tengo guitarra y porque suena así

Porque suena así

Volando helicópteros en el jardín

Ellos me vigilan porque yo tengo un fin

Soy el encargado de arruinarte el festín

Si se me da la gana

Porque ando con ganas de un sonido anormal

Convertiré tu cama en un parlante animal

Escúchalo gemir baby

Que toxica mami que sos

El perro se nos derritió

Es tiempo de tomar el control

Y comprar uno mejor

Que ladre por la libertad

Y que nos de una solución

Es tiempo de tomar el control

Y mover esta nación

Porque ando con ganas de un sonido anormal

Convertiré tu cama en un parlante animal

Escúchalos gemir, baby

Volando helicópteros en el jardín

La rosa que le clava su espina al jazmín

Corte tu ligustrina con forma de delfín

Así nada en mi cara

Si vienen migraciones diles que ya me fui

Que tengo alambrado todo lo que te di

Que ya cruce frontera

Porque ando con ganas de un sonido anormal

Convertiré tu cama en un parlante animal

Escúchalo gemir baby

Anda ahorrando para comprarte una almohada

que te vamos a patear el culo

Anda ahorrando para comprarte una almohada

que te vamos a patear el culo

Anda ahorrando para comprarte una almohada

que te vamos a patear el culo

Anda ahorrando para comprarte una almohada
