Vocals Sterling Jarvis, Adrian Truss, Len Carlson, Ron Rubin (English)
Appears in Donkey Kong Country – "Legend of the Crystal Coconut" (1997)

"Gotta Get it Back!" is the second song in the Donkey Kong Country television series episode "Legend of the Crystal Coconut". After King K. Rool orders General Klump and Krusha to return the Crystal Coconut out of fear that he has fallen for a trap, the scene transitions between three different groups singing this song.

This song is omitted in the Sinhala dub.

English[edit]

KLUMP:
We gotta give the Coconut back, or else
King K. Rool is gonna have our hides

DK:
I can't believe I gave the Crystal Coconut
To a couple of the bad guys

SKURVY:
Arr!
All I wanna do is get me booty back
Defend my honor with lootin' and lies

DK:
Maybe, if I hurry, it won't be too late
I got to give it the old banana try

KLUMP: Gotta bring it back!
DK: Gotta get it back! Take it back!
SKURVY: Gotta scarf it back!
KRUSHA: Gotta give it back!
KLUMP: Take it back!

KLUMP:
At first he said to steal the Crystal Coconut
Now he's forcin' us to give it back

KRUSHA:
Uh, he's confusing me...

DK:
Cranky's gonna kill me if I fail this time
Looks like I set things back a century

SKURVY:
OOOWWW!
I always knew that smugglin' would keep me in shape
I wish my tooth would just stop hurtin' me! Ooowww...

DK:
I guess there's more to knowing how to be a king
You've got to see beyond the mystery!

KLUMP: Gotta bring it back!
DK: Gotta get it back!
KRUSHA: Take it back!
SKURVY: Gotta scoff it back!
KRUSHA: Gotta give it back!
SKURVY: Take it back!

KLUMP: Gotta bring it back!
DK: Gotta get it back!
KRUSHA: Take it back!
SKURVY: Gotta scoff it back!
KLUMP: Gotta give it back!
DK: Take it back!

Singer French lyrics Translation
Klump Faut aller rendre la Noix de coco ou sinon
King K. Rool nous transforme en sacoches
We've got to go return the Coconut or else
King K. Rool will turn us into saddlebags
DK Je ne peux pas croire que j'aie donné la Noix de coco
À ces deux nigauds de crocos
I can't believe I gave the Coconut
To those two croc simpletons
Skurvy Arr ! Tout ce que je veux, c'est récupérer mon bien
Défendre mon honneur de pirate voleur
Arr! All I want is to get my property back
Defend my honor as an thieving pirate
DK Peut-être qu'il n'est pas trop tard pour reprendre la Noix
J'ai intérêt à ne pas traîner en chemin
Maybe it's not too late to get the Coconut back
I'd better not dawdle on the way
Klump Faut la rapporter Gotta bring it back
DK Je dois la retrouver, la ramener I must find it, take it back
Skurvy Je veux la remballer I want to seize it back
Krusha Faut la redonner Gotta give it back
Klump La ramener Take it back
D'abord, il nous a dit de voler la Noix de coco
Maintenant, c'est lui qui nous force à la rendre
At first, he told us to steal the Coconut
Now, he's the one forcing us to return it
Krusha Moi, je comprends plus rien I don't understand a thing anymore
DK Cranky va me réduire en descente de lit
Cette fois, je n'ai pas le droit à l'erreur
Cranky's gonna reduce me to a bedside rug
This time, I can't afford to make mistakes
Skurvy Ah ! Si ma dent ne me faisait pas souffrir autant
Je serais le plus heureux des pirates, oh !
Ah! If my tooth did not hurt me so much
I would be the happiest pirate of all, oh!
DK Au moins, j'ai appris que pour devenir un vrai roi
Faut être généreux et réfléchi
At least, I've learnt that to become a real king
You have to be generous and thoughtful
Klump Faut la rapporter Gotta bring it back
DK Je dois la retrouver I must find it
Krusha La ramener Take it back
Skurvy Je veux la remballer I want to seize it back
Krusha Faut la redonner Gotta give it back
Skurvy La ramener Take it back
Klump Faut la rapporter Gotta bring it back
DK Je dois la retrouver I must find it
Krusha La ramener Take it back
Skurvy Je veux la remballer I want to seize it back
Klump Faut la redonner Gotta give it back
DK La ramener ! Take it back!
