I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie!
Do you wanna play?
I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie!
I said whatcha’ say!
The water she is nice we can steal away
They’ll never know we’re gone ’til the break ‘o day
Come on! Come on!

I say Hey Snappy Kakkie
Did they talk to you today?
I say Hey Snappy Kakkie
Did you see it their way?
The moon she is high, we must leave tonite
We must get away, we will join the fight
Come on! Come on!

I say Hey Snappy Kakkie!
Did our brothers stay
I say Hey Snappy Kakkie
Will our sisters pay
Does it really matter of the friends we lost
It doesn’t really matter cause their souls were lost
Come on! Come on!

I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie!
Do you wanna play?
I say Hey! Snappy Kakkie!
I say Hey! watcha’ say!
The water she is nice we can steal away
They’ll never know we’re gone til the break ‘o day
So come on!
