Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Road runner, road runner
Going hundred miles per hour
[Verse 2]
Road runner, road runner
Going hundred miles per hour
With your radio on
With your radio on
[Verse 3]
Road runner, road runner
Going hundred miles per hour
With your radio on
With your radio on
[Verse 4]
Somalia, Angola, Ghana, Ghana, Ghana
India, Sri Lanka, Burma, bamboo banga
This a bamboo banga
I said bamboo banga
This a bamboo banga
I said bamboo banga
[Verse 5]
And we're hittin our racquets like a tennis player
And the drummers do the shit like the macarena
This a jungle banga
A cold jammer
I said jungle banga
I said cold jammer
This a jungle banga
I said cold jammer
[Verse 6]
Yeah, I'm bored of banana, I want guanabana
I wanna warm my buns this summer, summer, summer, summer
Now I'm sittin' down chillin on some gun powder
Strike, match, light, fire
Who's that girl called Maya?
M.I.A. coming back with power-power
M.I.A. coming back with power-power
I said M.I.A. is coming back with power-power
M.I.A. coming back with power-power
[Verse 7]
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
[Verse 8]
I'm knocking on the doors of your Hummer-Hummer
Yeah, I'm knocking on the doors of your Hummer-Hummer
Yeah, I'm knocking on the doors of your Hummer-Hummer
Yeah, I'm knocking on the doors of your Hummer-Hummer
Yeah, we're hungry like the wolves hunting dinner-dinner
And we're moving with the packs like hyena-ena
Barbarella look like she's my dead ringer
When I m dogging on the bonnet of your red Honda
[Verse 9]
I'm a road runner
I'm a world runner
I'm a road runner
I'm a world runner
[Verse 10]
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
[Verse 11]
M.I.A. coming back with power-power
M.I.A. coming back with power-power
M.I.A. coming back with power-power
M.I.A. coming back with power-power
[Verse 12]
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
I'm big timer, it's a bamboo banga
