I don't know what you got brewin'
But I know what DK's doin'
He's gonna spend time watchin' monkey movies with meCANDY:

Up against TV, you don't stand a chanceCANDY:
He gave me that lookDIDDY:
That was dirt in his eyeCANDY:
I can read him like a bookDIDDY:

It's time for me to set you straightBOTH:
That's why he'd rather be with meCANDY:

| Diddy |
Du kan gärna smida ränker |
You are welcome to plot |
| Candy |
Åh nej, det tror du bara |
Oh no, you just think so |
| Diddy |
Det ska vi nog bli två om |
There will probably be two of us |
| Candy |
Lämna mig och Donkey ifred |
Leave me and Donkey alone |
| Diddy |
Att du är chanslös Candy, så stick |
You have no chance Candy, so go |
| Both |
För han vill hellre va med mig |
Because he'd rather be with me |
| Candy |
Jag vet vad han älskar just här hos mig |
I know what he loves right here with me |
| Diddy |
Svika en kompis för en tjej |
Betraying a friend for a girl |
| Candy |
Min kärlek är det som han vill ha |
My love is what he wants |
| Diddy |
Med chips och cola, det är världens par |
With chips and cola, it's the world's couple |
| Candy |
Jag vet att han vill ha en djup romans |
I know he wants a deep romance |
| Diddy |
Mot en tv-kväll har du ingen chans |
You don't stand a chance against a TV night |
| Candy |
Han gav mig en blick |
He gave me a look |
| Diddy |
Du är ute och far |
You are out and about |
| Candy |
Men jag vet väl vad jag fick |
But I know what I got |
| Diddy |
En karl är alltid en karl |
A man is always a man |
| Candy |
Han är min din lilla fjant |
He's my little fool |
| Diddy |
Men lyssna nu, din gamla tant |
But listen now, you old aunt |
| Both |
För han vill hellre va med mig |
Because he'd rather be with me |
| Candy |
För han vill hellre va med mig |
Because he'd rather be with me |
| Both |
För han vill hellre va med mig |
Because he'd rather be with me |
| Diddy |
Ha! Hajar du? Med mig! |
Ha! Are you a shark? With me! |
| Both |
För han vill hellre va med mig |
Because he'd rather be with me |
| Candy |
Med dig? |
With you? |
| Diddy |
Ja, mig. |
Yes, me. |
| Candy |
Det får vi se. |
We'll see. |
| Both |
För han vill hellre va med mig |
Because he'd rather be with me |
