Hyvää huomenta!
(that’s “Good morning” in Finnish).
YES! It’s another song. Learning English with songs is one of the most fun ways we can learn AND it helps our pronunciation.
This song is called “That beep” and is by a group called “Architects in Helsinki”. That’s why we said hello in Finnish!

Lyrics
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Kid can you wake up
Boy it ain’t long till the warning arrives
And it’s the shake up
That’s got me waiting for your dynamite
I never knew your middle name
No need to play that game
I called your doctor up
And he promised me pain was fun
Tried a little bit of moving on
It lasted way too long
Dressed up as bubblegum
I’m stuck to your shoe, let’s run
Can you give me that
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Two timing in your state of mind
These feet got left behind
We dived so deep
We’d keep in touch with your buried bones
Can I get a little fading on?
Fade it, fade it, don’t be long
Dressed up as bubblegum
I’m stuck to your shoe, let’s run
Can you give me that
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Did they mistake us
For an eight that’s turning into a nine?
Said if I played the evil lover
Can I trade you for your alibi?
Done living like a runaway
Break those hearts so carefully
Done living like a runaway
Every time that I turn around
I let you down, you read my mind
Bring the beat back
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
You got that beep, that beep, that bop, bop
You got that beep, that beep, that bop, bop
You got that beep, that beep, that bop, bop
You got that beep, that beep, that beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
