Lyrics & Translation

[English]

[Music]

gentlemen this is what we've been

waiting for the world's most valuable

object is on its way to Syracuse it's a

shame that we'll never get there today

be retired to Fiji

[Music]

to catch that last move pretty cool huh

I thought you overworked it just oh and

I was overworking it produce this just

got interested unless it did about a

lifetime ago

still fight like an old lady

Sinbad what are you doing here

I'm working you what happened to you

where have you been hey love stop catch

up but I've got things to do places to

go stuff to steal

[Music]
