[English]

Hey?

Hello, is that you, big gun?

Hey hey

Hey, have you ever seen Charlie Chaplin?

Charlie Chaplin?

Have you watched his movies?

Are you talking about his films?

I mean the man himself!

Hahaha, that’s pretty hard to laugh at, haha

...

If you accidentally fall, just get up quickly and pretend nothing's wrong

Humor is the best gift in this world

Don’t just want to be that prince or princess

Don’t be cold or act cool or show off

Make everything perfectly prepared for the show

Let all efforts end beautifully

Oh, wow, it’s not in the dictionary

Almost falling but unconsciously blurting out

Jibber-jabber, hiccup, and snore

Humor is a professional art form

Even when greeting a cat

Or asking a dog for directions, stay focused

Listen carefully to that purring

It’s not describing the sunrise over the eastern horizon

Sometimes acting like a tree

You realize how wonderful humans are

Wearing a bowler hat, very oversized shoes

Holding a cane, with a beard, hello everyone

Not everything you want—happiness—can be found

Humor is a graceful way to handle setbacks

...

Join me—Hey

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

Is it over yet?

If you accidentally fall, just get up quickly and pretend nothing's wrong

Humor is the best gift in this world

Don’t just want to be that prince or princess

Don’t be cold or act cool or show off

Make everything perfectly prepared for the show

Let all efforts end beautifully

Oh, wow, it’s not in the dictionary

Almost falling but unconsciously blurting out

Jibber-jabber, hiccup, and snore

Comedy requires 100% dedication

Whether performing as an animal or a plant

You must act in a way that makes others envy

Listen carefully—it's not a gourd

My entire outfit isn’t magic tricks

Innocent expressions, helpless when in trouble

Making you happy just takes a little cleverness

Wearing a bowler hat, very oversized shoes

My funny moves make everyone laugh out loud

If life needs a smile, just look at me

Release all your stress in one go

...

Wearing a bowler hat, very oversized shoes

My funny moves make everyone laugh out loud

If life needs a smile, just look at me

Release all your stress in one go

[Chinese]

巨砲：喂？

巨砲：卓別林喔？

杰倫：欸，有看過嗎？

巨砲：你說他的電影是不是？

杰倫：我是說他本人啦！

巨砲：哈哈哈哈哈 很難笑耶 哈哈

如果不小心跌倒 馬上就爬起來裝沒事

幽默是這世上 最好的 禮物

別只想要當那 王子公主 公主

別對人家冷漠 耍帥裝酷 裝酷

讓一切的準備 都完美演出

讓所有的努力 都美好落幕

唉喲喂啊 字典裡沒有收錄

差點跌倒 卻不自覺會說出

嘰哩咕嚕 唏哩呼嚕

幽默是專業的行為藝術

就算是跟貓 打招呼

或者是跟狗問路 也要很專注

聽清楚 什麼呼嚕

絕不是形容 東方魚肚白的日出

還有偶爾 扮演一棵樹

你才知道 當人類有多美妙

我戴著圓頂禮帽 鞋子特大號

我手拿拐杖 留著鬍子 大家好

別什麼你都想要 快樂卻找不到

幽默是 挫折中 優雅的禮貌

跟我一起 Hey

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

Hey完了沒

如果不小心跌倒 馬上就爬起來裝沒事

幽默是這世上 最好的 禮物

別只想要當那 王子公主 公主

別對人家冷漠 耍帥裝酷 裝酷

讓一切的準備 都完美演出

讓所有的努力 都美好落幕

唉喲喂啊 字典裡沒有收錄

差點跌倒 卻不自覺會說出

嘰哩咕嚕 唏哩呼嚕

喜劇要百分之百的投入

不管演 動物或植物

你一定都要演的 讓人家羡慕

聽清楚 不是葫蘆

我一身的打扮 也不是在變魔術

表情無辜 闖禍時無助

讓你開心 其實要一點頭腦

我戴著圓頂禮帽 鞋子特大號

我動作逗趣 所有人都 笑翻掉

若生活需要微笑 請看著我就好

將壓力 一股腦 全部釋放掉

我戴著圓頂禮帽 鞋子特大號

我動作逗趣 所有人都 笑翻掉

若生活需要微笑 請看著我就好

將壓力 一股腦 全部釋放掉
