English[edit ]

DIDDY:
Hoo hoo!
I'm havin' fun with everyone, when I disappear
Playing tricks on people while pretending I'm not there!

DK:
When Cranky learns you're messin' with the Coconut this way

DIDDY:
Ha!
I'll be sneakin' into another movie matinée!
Heh heh!

DIDDY:
Doing what I want, ya can't see me!

DK:
I can see you're drivin' me crazy!

DIDDY:
Floating in and out of thin air makes me feel free!
Oh!

DK:
You can't get away with this monkey business!

DIDDY:
I can be a ghost who haunts the Barrel Factory!
Pushing buttons, pulling levers, driving Candy crazy!

DK:
Now, hold on, little buddy
That's my girl you're talking 'bout!

DIDDY:
Oh, I'm just getting started!

DK:
Wait 'til Cranky finds you out!

DIDDY:
Ha!
I can pull the rug from under King K. Rool
Float bananas through the air
Man, that'd be so cool!
I can fool around with all of Cranky's spells
And poof!
I'm gone without a trace!

DK:
Man, Cranky's gonna hit the roof!

DIDDY:
Doing what I want, you can't see me!

DK:
I can see you're drivin' me crazy!

DIDDY:
Floating in and out of thin air makes me feel free!

DK:
You can't get away with this monkey business!
