**Japanese Lyrics**
愛、夢、何だって手に入る

I swear I dance in the world

下、上、右から左までstep into a world

D.U.N.K.

まぁいっかしょうがない

なんて諦めムードには用が無い

根拠なくても大笑い

なんたってこの人生マジ超ヤバい

心底シーン底上げしたいし

友達のダチとダチになる毎日

死んだって生き返るくらいに

ハイなバイタリティ　あと愛が大事

普通、常識、俺にだけはそれ求めんな

What’s good? 超いい

ステップ踏んでるいつものメンバー

大人子ども　どこから来たとかいらない一言も

時代を変えるなんてつもりはない

勝手に変わってく時代の中で踊ろう

Boom! Shake it!　たかがヒトだろ皆

Boom! Shake it!　赤っ恥もかっこいいじゃん

Too short to live　踊るアホから学びなおしな

手叩いて鬼さんこちら　俺ら武器持たないWarriorさ

愛、夢、何だって手に入る

I swear I dance in the world

下、上、右から左までstep into a world

D.U.N.K.

Stay Green Be Free

有り余ってるいくじ

閻魔様がびっくりして

帰されてきたらKiss Me

四角い画面のTOKYO

俺ならはみ出したこのまま息引き取ってやろう

Boom! Shake it!

夢なんて見たもん勝ちI know

Boom! Boom! Boom! shake it!

運命は全員台本無しだろ

Too long to live 4

やりたい事全部やる

神様だって面食らうくらい踊って遊んで歌うんだ

愛、夢、何だって手に入る

I swear I dance in the world

下、上、右から左までstep into a world

D.U.N.K.

**Romaji Lyrics + Color Code**
Ai, yume, nan datte te ni hairu

I swear I dance in the world

Shita, ue, migi kara hidari made step into a world

D.U.N.K.

Maa ikka shouganai

Nante akirame muudo ni wa you ga nia

Konkyo nakute mo oowarai

nan tatte kono jinsei maji chou yabai

Shinsoko shiin sokoage shitaishi

Tomodachi no dachi to dachi ni naru mainichi

Shindatte ikikaeru kurai ni

Hai na Baitariti ato ai ga daiji

Futsuu, joushiki, ore ni dake wa sore motomenna

What's good? Chou ii

Suteppu funderu itsumo no menbaa

Otona kodomo dokokara kita toka iranai hitogoto mo

Jidai wo kaeru nante tsumori wa nai

Katte ni kawatteku jidai no naka de odorou

Boom! Shake it! Ta ka ga hitodaro mina

Boom! Shake it! Akkabaji mo kakkoii jan

Too short to live odoru aho kara manabinaoshi na

Te tataite onisan kochira orera buki motanai Warrior sa

Ai, yume, nan datte te ni hairu

I swear I dance in the world

Shita, ue, migi kara hidari made step into a world

D.U.N.K.

Stay Green Be Free

Ariamatteru ikuji

Enmasama ga bikkurishite

Kaesaretekitara Kiss Me

Shikakui gamen no TOKYO

Orenara hamidashita kono mama iki hikitotteyarou

Boom! Shake it!

Yume nante mitamon gachi I know

Boom! Boom! Boom! Shake it!

Unmei wa zenin daihonnashi darou

Too long to live 4

Yaritai koto zenbu yaru

Kamisama datte menkurau kurai odotte asonde utaunda

Ai, yume, nandatte te ni hairu

I swear I dance in the world

Shita, ue, migi kara hidari made step into a world
