'Cause there's sonic like elves
Occupy in my head
'Cause there's so little else
Occupying my head
Could it be, could it be
That you're jumping with me?
Could it be, could it be
That you're joking with me?
Really, really, really, really?
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby,
Rooney, Rooney, Rooney, Rooney
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby,
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, won't you remind?
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, won't you be mine?
Till the Roman council
Tomorrow is canceled
URINATION!!!!!!!
You’re an angel!
Wanka, Wanka
Wanka, Wanka
(Da da daaa, da da daaa)
(Da da daaa, da da daaa)
K' adds: "This part is at the beginning of the song in the introduction. It sounds as though the lead singer sort of shouting the line. But the way the line is being said/sung, if you're not listening carefully, then it's going to sound like he is saying 'wanker, wanker' as opposed to 'Da da daaa, da da daaa'".
You’re an Asian!
You’re an angel!
