Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Your iPhone X pulls you from your sleep

But you keep dozing off, and dozing off, and dozing off

Suddenly, the taxi driver says it’s seven euros

And you don’t have enough cash, you pay with the app

Yeah yeah yeah

Sabibabiba-wu

Sabibabiba-wu

Sabibabiba-wu

Sabibabiba-wu

You look around for a lunch special

But you left the house too late

And the lunch specials are sold out

Oh

Sabibabiba-wu

Sabibabiba-wu

Sabibabiba-wu

Sabibabiba-wu

Oh, you line up at the coat check, yeah

And the coat check-

The coat check guy doesn’t look at you

Doesn’t look at you, doesn’t look at you

Doesn’t look at you, doesn’t look at you, yeah

Doesn’t look at you, doesn’t look at you

You-you, you-you

Sabibabiba-wu

You’re making real money now

But not enough for this world

Doesn’t look at you, doesn’t look at you

Doesn’t look at you, doesn’t look at you, yeah

Doesn’t look at you, doesn’t look at you

Doesn’t look at you, doesn’t look at you

Eh eh

Ooh ooh

Du siehst dich um nach einem Mittagsmenü

Aber du bist zu spät aus dem Haus

Und die Mittagsmenüs sind aus

Oh

Oh, du stellst dich an der Garderobe an, ja

Und der Garderoben-

Der Garderobenmann schaut dich nicht an

Schaut dich nicht an, schaut dich nicht an
