The DJ in the club
Is scratching the records, boom shaka

When the festival season comes
For some reason, I go back to the country

Even the it girls in the magazines
Were doing para para

When the festival season comes
I go back to my hometown and put on a yukata

We’re dancing in a Japanese festival
Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!* We’re dancing!

Boom shaka! Boom shaka! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
Parapara! Parapara! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!

Wow, look at the Japanese businessmen
“Pleased to meet you!” They’re going round handing out business cards

When the festival season comes
I get so excited I can’t sit still!

Wow, look at the old ladies from our neighbourhood
“Really! Really!” They’re saying things that make no sense

When the festival season comes
I go back to my hometown and put on the happi coat I’m so proud of

We’re dancing, these are prosperous times (heave-ho!)
Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! We’re dancing!
