Lyrics from 'I Was Young' by G-POP from Kochi-ke ALL STARS

We are G-POP from Japan

Living in Kochi-Ken

Great fish, Great river

Great Sake, Great girls

This is my heaven

But time passes fast

How old are you?

60, 70, 80

Oh my God

I was young I was young

I was strong I was fast

Wow Wow Wow Wow

No No No No

We are G-POP from Japan

Can not speak English

Sky is blue, Donʼt be afraid

Life is great

Throw your phone into the sea

When was my first kiss

When was it

I totally forgot it

Oh my God
