Lyrics

Soundtrack version

(Scatting) hey!
(Scatting) hey!

(Scatting) hey, hey, hey! (come on, get up!)
(Scatting) hey, hey, hey! (yeah!)
(Scatting) hey, hey, hey!
(Scatting) hey, hey, hey!

Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
We're together, no matter where we may go (ooh...)
Ah-ah-ah... ah-ah-ah
Through whatever together, we can go far

It's the emerald we treasure, coming from the jungle to you
Beating like its heartbeat, playing rhythms we've grown to
It's the emerald we treasure, coming from the place where we live (the place where we live, oh-ooh...)
The home of freedom and happiness

Time flies forever
The jungle's like a breeze
It's a wonder, now get out your tutu
In case someone wants you to dance! (snoring)

(Scatting) hey, hey, hey!
(Scatting) hey, hey, hey!
(Scatting) hey, hey, hey!
(Scatting) hey, hey, hey!
(Scatting) hey!

Leva na batida, bate o tambor
Leva na batida, dá um show
Leva na batida, whoa, whoa
Leva na batida, leva pro gol...

Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
We're together, no matter where we may go
Ah-ah-ah... ah-ah-ah
Through whatever together, we can go far
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
We're together, no matter where we may go
Ah-ah-ah... ah-ah-ah
Through whatever together, we can go far (oh...)

Hi, my name is Claira, the capybara, and that's the end!

(Scatting) hey, hey, hey! (Pedro: what's up? don't bite it)

Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh (Pedro: where my birds at?)
We're together, no matter where we may go (Nico: ooh...)
Mosquito orchestra: Ah-ah-ah... ah-ah-ah (Pedro: flap yo' wings!)
Through whatever together, we can go far (Pedro: Amazon, ah-ah!)

Nico: It's the emerald we treasure, coming from the jungle to you (Pedro: bam!)
Carla: Beating like its heartbeat, playing rhythms we've grown to.
Nico: It's the emerald we treasure.

Rapping Sloth:
Time flies forever
The jungle's like a breeze
It's a wonder, now get out your tutu
In case someone wants you to dance! (snoring)

Audition Bird:
(Scatting) hey, hey, hey!
(Scatting) hey, hey, hey!
(Scatting) hey, hey, hey!

Leva na batida, bate o tambor (Pedro: all my turtles, hardcore turtles!)
Leva na batida, dá um show
Leva na batida, whoa, whoa
Leva na batida, (Rafael: sing it, baby!) leva pro gol... (Eva: (off-key) ah, ah, ah, ah!)

Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
We're together, no matter where we may go

Through whatever together, we can go far
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh
We're together, no matter where we may go
Ah-ah-ah... ah-ah-ah
Through whatever together, we can go far oh... (Pedro: ah-ah!)

Pedro: That's the end?
