Lyrics

• English
• Spanish

In this world there's just one thing you need
You gotta be fast, you gotta be fast
If you wanna stay in the lead
You gotta be fast, you gotta be fast, you gotta be fast

The world belongs to the major movers
The ones who keep up a relentless pace
If you aren't up to the fast maneuvers
You're gonna wind up in second place
You're gonna wind up with egg on your face

All the prizes go to the swift
You gotta be fast, you gotta be fast
Baby, baby, are you getting our drift?
You gotta be fast, you gotta be fast, you gotta be fast

Slow and steady don't win no races
Slow and steady comes in last
If you wanna come up aces
Baby, baby, you gotta be fast
And, baby, you're coming in last

Gotta be fast (you gotta be fast, you gotta be fast)
You gotta be fast (you gotta be fast, you gotta be fast)
You gotta be fast

En este mundo hay algo que necesitas
Vente deprisa, vente deprisa
Te quieres mantener en la línea
Vente deprisa, vente deprisa, lo tienes que hacer, huh

El lento parece que se mueve
El que va más rápido va a ganar
Tienes que mantenerte siempre lista
No puedes quedar en segundo lugar
No puedes quedar en segundo lugar

Ahora el precio es la victoria
Vente deprisa, vente deprisa
Ponte listo o te vas a caer
Vente deprisa, vente deprisa, lo tienes que hacer, huh

El lento siempre pierde
El lento nunca llegará
Si quieres subir, tienes que ser rápido
O tú nunca lo lograrás
Sí, tú nunca lo lograrás

Lo tienes que hacer, lo tienes que hacer
Vente deprisa, vente deprisa
Lo tienes que hacer, lo tienes que hacer, huh
Vente deprisa, vente deprisa, huh
