There's chouchen flowing freely - Come take a trip to Lambé

If you couldn't find anywhere to hang out - Come take a trip to Lambé

If your guy just dumped you - Come take a trip to Lambé

If you want to jump into Bouguen - Come take a trip to Lambé

If the Mélo's sold out - Come take a trip to Lambé

If you're tired of struggling - Come take a trip to Lambé

If you got caught in the bus - Come take a trip to Lambé

If you got caught cheating on the bus - Come take a trip to Lambé

And if you like walking - Come take a trip to Lambé

Come take a trip to Lambé

Come take a trip to Lambé

Come take a trip to Lambé

Come take a trip to Lambé

Come take a trip to Lambé

Come take a trip to Lambé
