Song Lyrics
CHORUS
What if you came all this way
And you didn’t know what to say?
And the words that you heard came out gibberish?
”Blah, blah, blah!”
What if someone broke the ice?
Well, wouldn’t it be nice to know that
You have a place here too?

Let’s go find something fun to do:
Играй [Igray] (trans. Let’s play)
…That’s what we can say to our friends today.
VERSE 4
I’ll say goodbye at the end of the day:
Пока [Poka] (trans. Bye)
…That’s what we can say to our friends today.
