Yatra yatra
Fifteen to five, another Friday afternoon
Watching the weekend creeping closer into view

Eye of the Tiger on the highway home to you
Home to you, home to you, home to you

Don't tell me you can't find time to party
I don't wanna hear that damn excuse
Baby if we can't go find a party
Guess we'll have to make one here for two
Uh uh uh uh

Milk and Honey, sunny delight
I wanna take you on a
Street safari party alright
Into the wild jungle
Ooh-ooh if you ain't scared of the fall
We'll be hanging off the edge of the night
Alright

Supernova galaxy kiss
I wanna take you on a
Street safari party like this
Into the wild jungle
Ooh-ooh if you ain't scared of the fall
We'll be hanging off the edge of the night
Yatra yatra

No tengas miedo que no pasa nada
Tengo una noche que tú nunca vas a olvidar
Me enamoraste con esa mirada
All night long tú y yo
I can't wait no more

Oh oh
Con esa carita y tu manera de bailar
Oh oh
Esa boquita que sueño con besar
Oh oh
Solo una noche y no me dejes nada
All night long tú y yo
I can't wait no more

Milk and Honey, sunny delight
I wanna take you on a
Street safari party alright
Into the wild jungle
Ooh-ooh if you ain't scared of the fall
We'll be hanging off the edge of the night
Alright

Supernova galaxy kiss
I wanna take you on a
Street safari party like this
Into the wild jungle
Ooh-ooh if you ain't scared of the fall
We'll be hanging off the edge of the night

So wake up the neighbors
Sleep is overrated
Jump on it and shake it
Baby you're my favorite
Go wake up on the neighbors
Sleep is overrated
Jump on it and shake it
Baby you're my favorite

Uh uh uh
Uh
Milk and Honey, sunny delight
I wanna take you on a
Street safari party alright
Into the wild jungle
Ooh-ooh if you ain't scared of the fall
We'll be hanging off the edge of the night
Alright

Supernova galaxy kiss
I wanna take you on a
Street safari party like this
Into the wild jungle
Ooh-ooh if you ain't scared of the fall
We'll be hanging off the edge of the night
Alright
