Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I'm just walking down with my walkie talkie
Walkie talkie, walkie talkie, walkie talkie
Fun fun all around from my walkie talkie
Walkie talkie, walkie talkie, walkie talkie
[Pre-Chorus]
It's real killing sound
You can shake all your body movin' (body movin' yeah)
Play the beat up and down
You'll know never to stop this feelin'
Get up, beat them
[Chorus]
Walkie talkie what can I do
We don't know
Walkie talkie get up, get up, get up, get up
Walkie talkie never feel rude
Every time you play you get in my mind
Walkie talkie...
[Verse 2]
You can feel my love with my walkie talkie
Walkie talkie, walkie talkie, walkie talkie
Beat them, don't let go, that's my walkie talkie
Walkie talkie, walkie talkie, walkie talkie
[Pre-Chorus]
With this magical sound
I don't need any bridal baby (bridal baby yeah)
Play the beat up and down
And I never can stop this feelin'
Never be there
