Lyrics[]

​​​​​How many shrimps do you have to eat
​​​​​Before you make your skin turn pink
Eat too much and you'll get sick
Shrimps are pretty rich

なんであいつらはピンク?
動物園で思ったピンク
食べ物でそうなんだ
実は私はたらこが大好き
プラス海老カニ食べよう
ピンク色になるの?
だから皆違う色
人間って勘違いしてるよね

Black, white, green or blue
Show off your natural hue
Flamingo
If you're multicolored, that's cool too
You don't need to change
It's boring being the same
Flamingo
You're pretty either way

鶴の尻尾下に向かって曲げたらフラミンゴ
意味不明だけど 面白いでしょ
虹色に染まった世界
今日も地球のどこかで
海老をむしゃむしゃ食べて
フラミンゴはピンク色に染まっていくぜ one two three!

Black, white, green or blue
Show off your natural hue
Flamingo
If you're multicolored, that's cool too
You don't need to change
It's boring being the same
Flamingo
You're pretty either way

Flamingo

How many shrimps do you have to eat
Before you make your skin turn pink
Eat too much and you'll get sick
Shrimps are pretty rich

Green or blue
Show off your natural hue
Flamingo
If you're multicolored, that's cool too
You don't need to change
It's boring being the same
Flamingo

You're pretty either way
Flamingo
Pink
Flamingo
