Firecracker Lyrics
Yellow Magic Orchestra
Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Don't you stand there, let's get loose
I am Ray, I've got the juice
Straight to your heart and back again
I tell you I am just your friend
Nice and slow, that's how we'll go
My love to you, I'll let it flow
You want me? Come on think again
Because the magic friend, that's what I am
'Cause that magic friend is what I am
The magic friend is what he is
'Cause that magic friend is what I am
The magic friend is what he is
Yo yo yo yo, taste that music
Be amused, you've got to use it
Don't be afraid for magic friends
'Cause that magic friend is what I am
The magic friend is what he is
The magic friend is what he is
The magic friend is what he is
Don't you stand there, let's get loose
I am Ray, I've got the juice
Straight to your heart and back again
I tell you I am just your friend
Nice and slow, that's how we'll go
My love to you I'll let it flow
You want me? Come on think again
Because the magic friend, that's what I am
'Cause the magic friend is what I am
The magic friend is what he is
The magic friend is what he is
The magic friend is what he is
The magic friend is what he is
The magic friend is what he is
The magic friend is what he is
The magic friend is what he is
Don't be afraid, it's just the magic friend
