Play along at home with the lyrics:
[Intro]
Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam style
[Verse 1]
A lady who is warm and human during the day
A classy lady who knows how to enjoy a cup of coffee
A lady whose heart gets hot when night comes
A lady with that kind of twist
[Refrain]
I am a man
A man as warm as you during the day
A man who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down
A man whose heart bursts when night comes
Such a man
[Pre-Chorus]
Beautiful, lovely
Yes, you (Hey), yes, it's you (Hey)
Beautiful, lovely
Yes, you (Hey), yes, it's you (Hey)
Shall we go from now to the end?
[Chorus]
Oppa is Gangnam style, uh
Gangnam style
Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh
Gangnam style
Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh
Ayy, sexy lady
Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh
Ayy, sexy lady
Op, op, op, op, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
[Verse 2]
A woman who seems calm but knows how to have fun
A woman who lets her hair down when she feels it's the right time
A woman who covers herself but is more sexy than a woman who bares it all
A woman with that kind of sense
[Refrain]
I am a man
A man who seems calm but knows how to have fun
A man who goes completely crazy when it's the right time
A man who is more bulging with ideas than muscles
Such a man
[Pre-Chorus]
Beautiful, lovely
Yes, you (Hey), yes, it's you (Hey)
Beautiful, lovely
Yes, you (Hey), yes, it's you (Hey)
Shall we go from now to the end?
[Chorus]
Oppa is Gangnam style, uh
Gangnam style
Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh
Gangnam style
Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh
Ayy, sexy lady
Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style, uh
Ayy, sexy lady
Op, op, op, op, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
[Bridge]
A guy who runs, and then a guy who flies
Baby, baby, I am a guy who knows a thing or two
A guy who runs, and then a guy who flies
Baby, baby, I am a guy who knows a thing or two (You know what I'm sayin')
[Chorus]
Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Ayy, sexy lady
Op, op, op, op, Oppa is Gangnam style
Ayy, sexy lady
Op, op, op, op, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
Oppa is Gangnam style, uh
