If the traffic light is red,
Until it turns green again, you must
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I’m a such a good boy. Oh yeah.

Once it turns green, it’s all right!
How do ya like that?
That’s the way I live. Oh yeah.

Don’t be so frantic.
Just calm down a bit.
That’s right, this world of ours…
…is party rainy and sunny, so try again tomorrow.
*Yokatta ame furya niji ga deru

Thank God if it rains, a rainbow will come.
And when that happens, let’s go out and eat some ramen!
Oh, dance, dance, let’s dance in a flash
Let’s go! All you guys come, too!

Thank God if we don’t have umbrellas, we can always find shelter somewhere else.
And when that happens, we can have a nice little nap.
And then we’ll dance, dance again. I’m really on fire!
Oh yeah, We’ve still got the whole day ahead of us.

If your mentaiko is too spicy,
Then without throwing a tantrum,
gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp down some water.
Just don’t cry. Oh yeah.
Wash! Wash! Woaaaaaah, Wash!
If you rinse it out with water, it’ll be all right
How do ya like that? You didn’t have to cry.
This’s how I do things. Oh yeah.
Muri suru na yo

Don’t push yourself too far.
Just take it easy.
That’s right, this world of ours…
…is morning, afternoon, night, and then morning again

Thank God if I hit a bat, I’ll hit the ball.
And what do ya know, I’ve got a lucky home-run.
This is my Chance! Chance! I made it in one hit!
Let’s go! By my own hands

*~* repeat twice.
*The "kinki" in "kinki kids" refers to an area they come from. It does NOT mean "horny" ^-^
*"Mentaiko" is a spicy thing that’s put in onigiri, a food popular with children.
*"Nikuman" are Chinese steamed meat buns.
*"Mou" is the sound a cow makes in Japanese, and it’s also a sort of exclamation like "sheesh!"
