Then I whisper to me
(Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran)

And I'll lay right down
(Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran)
On my bed, on my bed

Don't forget to come, room 121
(Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran)
Don't forget to come
(Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran)
Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran

And I'll love you, and I'll love you and we'll fall to sleep
(Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran)

We'll fall
(Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran)
We'll fall

Six o'clock, come
(Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran)
Come, we'll fall
(Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran)

We'll fall
(Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran)
Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran

Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran
(Bye, bye)
Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran

Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran
Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran
Oh, gi, ran, ja, ran, ja, ja, ran
