Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Cheerihaaga said to me
I like you, only you like me
Cheerihaaga said to me
I am cool, do you like me?
Cheerihaaga said to me
Couldn't you die with the way you stand?
Cheerihaaga said to me
Pick a side, do you like me?
Cheerihaaga, Cheerihaaga
Cheerihaaga, Cheerihaaga

Cheerihaaga said to me
Tongue twist tie, your dreaming of me?
Cheerihaaga said to me
I like you do you like me?
Cheerihaaga said to me
I like you do you like me?[1]
