"Ostrich Bananza"[2][3] is a song composed by Naoto Kubo for Donkey Kong Bananza, where it plays when Donkey Kong transforms into the Ostrich Bananza form. It is performed in-universe by Pauline, who is voiced by Jenny Kidd. As with the other Bananza themes, the song's lyrics are almost entirely gibberish.

Lyrics[edit]

The following is a transcription of the song's lyrics from the Donkey Kong Bananza Kanzen Kōryakubon by Nintendo DREAM.

Oh yeah! Get ready! Hahahaha! Here we go!
(Dat choh, dat choh, dat choh, dat choh!)

Tyla fyla fina lu lu tu wadana dooradda. (Ostrich! Rich! Rich!)
Tyla fyla tula lu lu tu wodina duuu da freh deena!

Swoo-las forlas. (La-la-la la la-la!)

Now bro-nus tylus too-dahs!
(Ostrich! Rich! Rich!)
Rye das-no westy pyu-lah!
Lye gyana roll-lit cro-das poh-lit,

I muo wona falida...
