Siqui, siqui, siqui Daddy Yankee, yoh

Ra-Ra-Randy

Today I’m hitting the streets with no plan, oh-oh-oh-oh (walk with me on this one, c'mon!)

Like a wanderer with no direction, oh-oh-oh-oh

Today, nothing can stop me, eh-eh (unstoppable, man)

Today, I’m taking a girl home, eh-eh (one, two, oh! C'mon!)

The moon is full, and the club is packed with single girls flirting

Today, I’m definitely finding what I’m looking for (c'mon! Yeh!)

The bass is thumping, sounding just right, eh-eh

Today, I’m taking a girl home, eh-eh (boss, boss, boss!)

Today I’m out, looking sharp and classy

What? Sharp and classy

I own the road with the wheel in my hands

Why? ’Cause I’m sharp and classy

Chillin’ (oh)

Rolling with my crew, (oh) hey

We hit the club (oh) and I’m dazzled

And the future’s already written (oh!)

Anyone can get lost (yeh) with rebellious girls (yeh)

And I’m here with the cash (uh)

Bet anything I’ll make a good move

Why? ’Cause I’m sharp and classy

The moon is full, and the club is packed with single girls (full) flirting (they’re loose, man)

Today, I’m definitely finding what I’m looking for (easy, c'mon!)

The bass is thumping, sounding just right, eh-eh (eyo, Randy, tell ’em)

Today, I’m taking a girl home, eh-eh (boss, boss, boss!)

They’re with the real deal (oh), no one compares (oh)

She’s grinding on me with those illegal moves

Like a special moment (oh), come with me, let’s go (oh)

No strings attached, babe, no emotional stuff

Single girls bring good luck

They become your friends till death

And they ask for love and harder discipline

Harder, and don’t let go

One, two (bang!), instantly (bang!)

The bass drops (yih), we stop it (bang!)

Get down (bang!), it’s hitting hard (bang!)

I reactivate the GPS because

Today I’m out, looking sharp and classy

What? Sharp and classy (all groomed up)

I own the road with the wheel in my hands

Why? ’Cause I’m sharp and classy

The moon is full, and the club is packed with single girls flirting (Daddy)

Today, I’m definitely finding what I’m looking for (Randy, tell ’em, c'mon!)

The bass is thumping, sounding just right, eh-eh (yeh)

Today, I’m taking a girl home, eh-eh (boss, boss)

So you’re single and free?

That wild one’s out there, going from place to place

Looking for a daddy (like me)

To give her what she wants, no hassle, pockets full

That soft cotton outfit

I fall, I fall into temptation (yeh)

Ey

The moon is full, and the club is packed with single girls flirting

Today, I’m definitely finding what I’m looking for

The bass is thumping, sounding just right, eh-eh

Today, I’m taking a girl home, eh-eh
