English

DK:
Say "one banana" and "zing-zang-zote"
Then say "coconut" and it should float

DIDDY:
A dash of "zing" adds a bit of ping!
A cup of "zang" gives it some tang!

DK:
A little bit of that and a whole lotta this!

DIDDY:
A pinch of "zote" and you can't miss!

BOTH:
Say "one banana" and "zing-zang-zote"
Then say "coconut" and it should float
When the recipe tastes okay
Then you're mixing your cares away

DK:
A quart of this might give it some zip!

DIDDY:
Give it a stir 'til it sticks to your fur!

DK:
A gallon of that might give it some taste!

DIDDY:
Pass it quick, there's no time to waste!

BOTH:
Say "one banana" and "zing-zang-zote"
Then say "coconut" and it should float
When the recipe tastes okay
Then you're mixing your cares away

DK:
This is so much fun, I can't wait 'til it's done!

DIDDY:
It's gonna taste great, just you wait!

DK:
Is it ready to try? I'm so excited I could die!

DIDDY:
A little more "zing" is just the thing!

BOTH:
Say "one banana" and "zing-zang-zote"
Then say "coconut" and it should float
Say "one banana" and "zing-zang-zote"
Then say "coconut" and it should float
