English[edit]

DIDDY:
Hoo hoo!
I'm havin' fun with everyone, when I disappear
Playing tricks on people while pretending I'm not there!

DK:
When Cranky learns you're messin' with the Coconut this way

DIDDY:
Ha!
I'll be sneakin' into another movie matinée!
Heh heh!

DIDDY:
Doing what I want, ya can't see me!

DK:
I can see you're drivin' me crazy!

DIDDY:
Floating in and out of thin air makes me feel free!
Oh!

DK:
You can't get away with this monkey business!

DIDDY:
I can be a ghost who haunts the Barrel Factory!
Pushing buttons, pulling levers, driving Candy crazy!

DK:
Now, hold on, little buddy
That's my girl you're talking 'bout!

DIDDY:
Oh, I'm just getting started!

DK:
Wait 'til Cranky finds you out!

DIDDY:
Ha!
I can pull the rug from under King K. Rool
Float bananas through the air
Man, that'd be so cool!
I can fool around with all of Cranky's spells
And poof!
I'm gone without a trace!

DK:
Man, Cranky's gonna hit the roof!

DIDDY:
Doing what I want, you can't see me!

DK:
I can see you're drivin' me crazy!

DIDDY:
Floating in and out of thin air makes me feel free!

DK:
You can't get away with this monkey business!

Brazilian Portuguese[edit]

Singer Brazilian Portuguese lyrics Translation
Diddy

Desapareço e me divirto, não estou nem aí
Engano todos, vou fingindo que não estou aqui!

I disappear and have fun, I don't even care
Trick everybody, I'll pretend that I'm not even there!

DK

Se Cranky descobrir você brincando com o coco

If Cranky finds out you're playing with the coconut

Diddy

Ha!
Vou estar bem longe, você sabe eu não sou louco!

Ha!
I'll be far away, you know I'm not crazy!

Diddy

Faço o que quiser, ninguém me vê!

Doing what I want, nobody sees me!

DK

Está me deixando bem maluco!

You're making me very crazy!

Diddy

Vou pra onde quero e assim me sinto em liberdade!

I go wherever I want and this is how I feel free!

DK

Não vai se safar dessa macaquice!

You won't get away with this monkey business!

Diddy

Sou como um fantasma, assombrando fundo a sua cuca!
Pego e puxo, vou deixar a Candy bem maluca!

I'm like a ghost, deeply haunting your head!
Grab and pull, I will leave Candy very crazy!

DK

É minha namorada, você não vai conseguir!

That's my girlfriend, you won't make it!

Diddy

Bom, eu apenas comecei!

Well, I just got started!

DK

Deixa o Cranky descobrir!

Just let Cranky find out!

Diddy

Dou rasteiras no K. Rool, vai ser radical
Fazer bananas flutuarem, vai ser tão legal!
Vou brincar com tudo que é do Cranky, viu? Já era!
Vou sumir sem deixar pistas!

I will trip K. Rool up, it will be radical
Make bananas float, it will be so cool!
I'll play with everything that is Cranky's, see? It's over!
I'll be gone without a trace!

DK

Cranky vai ficar uma fera!

Cranky's gonna be furious!

Diddy

Faço o que quiser, ninguém me vê!

Doing what I want, nobody sees me!

DK

Está me deixando bem maluco!

You're making me very crazy!

Diddy

Vou pra onde quero e assim me sinto em liberdade!

I go wherever I want and this is how I feel free!

DK

Não vai se safar dessa macaquice!

You won't get away with this monkey business!
