Easy Breezy Easy Breezy

Easy Breezy Easy Breezy

Hai hajimatta karamatta

Karakatta yatsu-ra wa dokka ni icchatta

Dare ni tanomareta wake de mo nai no ni

Koko de wa dare mo ga ō-sama na no ne

Te ka nagatsuzuki suru ki ga shinai

To ka sonna seikaku de nani ga warui

Tada suki na mon wa suki

Gaiya wa o damari kimi mu sekinin

Koko chikyū, zero gurabiti

Ussai nā jama shinaide ne

Ippatsu hade ni yatte miyō ya

Nō miso imajineishon

Mita mon kīta mon

Sore zenbu chi ni naru

Toberutobe! namesasetoke

Atama n naka mō kanseikei mieta

Kokoro no amime komakaku shite

Saikyō no sekai dekichatteru wa -

Easy Breezy Easy Breezy
