Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Okay, we have to set another meeting

with the chief. Promise we'll be better.

>> Zebras,

>> you talk back less. Maybe not at all.

>> Yeah, or we go with my playbook and we

just lay low.

>> We cannot prove ourselves if we are

stuck in that room.

>> And if we complain to Chief Beef, he'll

just make us stay longer. Play it smart,

stay off the radar, and don't let it get

to you, okay? Cuz we are the green team.

Sorry, Paul.
