Rankka viikko ja paljon pitkii päiviä takan Mielenkiintona piña colada ja rata Ilta on vielä nuori ja aikaa kumota Tää jäinen ulkokuori on aika tuhota
Pidän kaksin käsin kiinni juomista niinku (Cha cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha) Ei En mieti huomista ku tartun tuopista niinku (Cha cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha) Ei Haluun olla sekasin ja vapaa huolista niinku (Cha cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha) Ei Ja mä jatkan kunnes en enää pysy tuolissa niinku
Muutama piña colada on jo takana Silti mul on vielä naamataulu vakava, je, je, je-je-je Ilta on vielä nuori ja aikaa kumota Tää jäinen ulkokuori on aika tuhota Parketti kutsuu mua ku en oo enää lukossa Niinku cha-cha-cha, mä oon tulossa
Pidän kaksin käsin kiinni juomista niinku (Cha cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha) Ei En mieti huomista ku tartun tuopista niinku (Cha cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha) Ei Haluun olla sekasin ja vapaa huolista niinku (Cha cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha) Ei Ja mä jatkan kunnes en enää pysy tuolissa niinku, vou
Nyt lähden tanssimaan Niinku cha-cha-cha Enkä pelkääkään tätä maailmaa, aa-haa Niinku cha-cha-cha Kun mä kaadan päälleni samppanjaa, aa-haa
Cha-cha-cha, toinen silmä jo karsastaa Ja puhe sammaltaa, ku tää toinen puoli must vallan saa, aa-haa Cha-cha-cha, en oo arkena tää mies laisinkaan, en oo Mut tänään oon se mies, tänään oon se mies
Nyt lähden tanssimaan Niinku cha-cha-cha Enkä pelkääkään tätä maailmaa, aa-haa Niinku cha-cha-cha Kun mä kaadan päälleni samppanjaa, aa-haa
Niinku cha-cha-cha (Cha cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha) Aa-haa Niinku cha-cha-cha (Cha cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha) Cha cha-cha-cha cha-cha-cha
