First Day Funk
Parokya Ni Edgar · Halina Sa Parokya [2005]
let's do the funk, let's do the first day
handa ka na ba?
first day of school, dapat cool na cool
mas cool pa sa tubig ng swimming pool
dapat talaga maganda na agad ang pasok
pag pasok mo ng classroom dapat umuusok
wag na wag kang mapapraning
sagot kita, diretso ang tingin
di dapat maatat na mapansin, kahit hot na hot
dapat chill pa rin
hinding hindi yumuyuko kahit na nakaupo
di ko sinasabing na dapat maging mayabang
pero dapat hindi ka mahiyain na halaman
confidence chong, lakas-loob
wag na wag kang patataob
kahit'sa tapat ng maganda mong kaklase
mas lalo na sa prof mo'ng mukhang salbahe
dance!
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
itaas ang kamay, iwagayway
salute the prof at sabay kaway
pag classmate, high 5 lang kayo
now don't be shy, kwela 'skwela 'to
just raise your hand kung may sagot
if you don't know the answer, e di lagot!
just erase the board at magsayaw
lagyan ng funk ang paggalaw
sayaw!
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
nang may dumating na isang babae
sobrang hottie na kaklase
sya lumapit at nag hi ako nama'y napakaway
akala ko ako ang kanyang kinakawayan
at hindi ko inakala na ang nasa likuran
kahit na napahiya, hindi ako kinabahan
wala na tong ibang mapupuntahan
sayaw!
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
itaas ang kamay, iwagayway
salute the prof at sabay kaway
pag classmate, high 5 lang kayo
now don't be shy, kwela 'skwela 'to
just raise your hand kung may sagot
if you don't know the answer, e di lagot!
just erase the board at magsayaw
lagyan ng funk ang paggalaw
sayaw!
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day funk
let's do the funk, let's do the first day...
