Triple Trouble – English Lyrics

• By: Beastie Boys

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

- The Beastie Boys have arrived.

Always on the cutting edge of fashion.

You know, when they're not on the red carpet,

they are always at the shows in Paris.

There's a lot of competition between the three of them,

as to who makes the best dressed list.

Oh, look at the white dreads.

Ad-Rock, with the highlights.

Mike D., very into The Emperors New Clothes look.

The Beastie Boys are back. (crowd cheering)

After a six year absence.

Guys, that's a long time.

What have you been up to?

It's great to see you!

- Hey! - Well, actually,

I know it sounds kinda funny,

but we were actually captured by Sasquatch.

- Yeah, it's crazy.

He had us like, up in a cave for,

I don't know, six years.

But, we escaped.

He wasn't looking. Snuck out.

Hey, you know Sasquatch got terrible hygiene, I gotta say.

He needs a haircut.

He's got terrible b.o., and bad breath.

It's terrible.

But, we have fun though.

Just playing, just playing. (mwah)

(growling) (crashing thuds)

- You guys are crazy!

You never change.

It's great to see you, Beastie Boys.

- Oh, it's great to see you too.

Good to see you too.

One love. (mwah)

(growling) (crashing thuds)

(glass shattering)

(growling) (crashing thuds)

(heavy breathing)

(keyboarding clicking)

(heavy breathing) (growling)

(smack)

(chair squeaking)

(heavy footsteps)
