Flamingo – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
How many shrimps do you have to eat
Before you make your skin turn pink?
Eat too much and you'll get sick
Shrimps are pretty rich
...
なんであいつらはピンク？
動物園で思った ピンク
食べ物で そうなんだ
実は私はたらこが大好き
プラス エビ カニ 食べよう
ピンク色になるの
だからみんな違う色
人間って勘違いしてるよね
Black, white, green or blue
Show off your natural hue
Flamingo, oh oh oh-woah
If you're multicouloured that's cool too
You don't need to change
It's boring being the same
Flamingo, oh oh oh-woah
You're pretty either way
鶴の尻尾下に向かって曲げたらフラミンゴ
意味不明だけど面白いでしょう
虹色に染まった世界
今日も地球のどこかで
エビをむしゃむしゃ食べて
フラミンゴはピンク色に
染まっていくぜ one two three!
...
Black, white, green or blue
Show off your natural hue
Flamingo, oh oh oh-woah
If you're multicouloured that's cool too
You don't need to change
It's boring being the same
Flamingo, oh oh oh-woah
You're pretty either way
...
Flamingo
...
How many shrimps do you have to eat
Before you make your skin turn pink?
Eat too much and you'll get sick
Shrimps are pretty rich
Green or blue
Show off your natural hue
Slamingo,oh oh oh-woah
If you're multicouloured that's cool too
You don't need to change
It's boring being the same
Flamingo, oh oh oh-woah
You're pretty either way
...
Flamingo, oh oh oh-woah
Pink
...
Flamingo, oh oh oh-woah
...
