[English]

Where should I start eating?

Is it delicious or disgusting?

Honestly, I don't know

In a world ruled by rules,

People always get water poured on them

Patience is just good manners, right?

The demons stir within me

Please go ahead, don't hold back

Ah, open wide your mouth

The feast, the feast begins on Monday

Such a waste, just once in a lifetime

Eat all the things you love

Which way should I turn?

White card or black card?

Want to bet on one?

Whether I live or die, it's just a piece of paper

Buddha drops a spider's thread

No, it's not too late—come out now

Hell's voice echoes in my ears

Going off the rails isn’t so bad

Ah, this party is in full swing

Tonight, tonight’s the night to go home

The party’s in full joy, cheers!

Fall as far as you can go

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Spin around, spread out, yeah!

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Spin around, spread out, yeah!

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Spin around, spread out, yeah, yeah!

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Spin around, spread out, yeah, yeah!

Ah, open wide your mouth

The feast, the feast begins on Monday

Such a waste, just once in a lifetime

Eat all the things you love

Fall as far as you can go

[Japanese]

何処から喰へば良いものか

美味いものか不味いものか

さっぱり俺にゃ分からない

決まりばかりの世の中じゃ

仏が何時も水を差す

我慢するのが礼儀でしょう？

鬼がこの身を唆す

御先にどうぞ遠慮なく

あゝかっぴらけや其御口

宴、宴が始月曜

勿体無ぇや　一度切り

好きなもの丈　食べなはれ

何方を捲りゃ良いものか

白い札か黒い札か

一丁賭けるとしませうか

死ぬも生きるも紙壱重

御釈迦が蜘蛛の糸垂らす

遅くはないわ　御出なさい

地獄の聲が耳を打つ

踏み外すのも惡くない

あゝ真っ盛りや此ノ宴

今宵、今宵は帰日曜

宴も酣　あかよろし

堕ちるとこまで堕ちなはれ

アアイヤイヤイヤ

廻レ廻レヤ　展ケ展ケイヤ

アアイヤイヤイヤ

廻レ廻レヤ　展ケイヤ

アアイヤイヤイヤ

廻レ廻レヤ　展ケ展ケイヤ

アアイヤイヤイヤ

廻レ廻レヤ　展ケイヤ

あゝかっぴらけや其御口

宴、宴が始月曜

勿体無ぇや　一度切り

好きなもの丈　食べなはれ

堕ちるとこまで堕ちなはれ
