Lyrics
When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
Enjoying swimming in the river during hot weather
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
Catching bream fish while fishing
When the river's high we jump off the bridge
Jumping off the bridge into the river when the water level is high
And when we get home and play some didge
Playing the didgeridoo (traditional Aboriginal Australian wind instrument) after returning home
When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
Repetition of the activities mentioned earlier (swimming, fishing, jumping off the bridge, playing didge) reinforcing their significance in their lives
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
-When the river's high we jump off the bridge
-And when we get home and play some didge
-First of all I wanna say I don't even know why you act that way
Expressing confusion about someone's behavior
My name is Maya and people always say
Introducing herself as Maya
I act kinda strange like a dooba weh
People perceive her as acting strangely, comparing herself to a "dooba weh" (possibly referencing a playful or carefree nature)
I like fish and mango pickle
Expressing a liking for fish and mango pickle
When I climb trees them feet them tickle
Sensory experience of feet tickling while climbing trees
I'm broke this month, didn't pay rent
Financial difficulty, unable to pay rent
I had to jump town and my money's all spent
Reiteration of financial hardship and relocating to a new place
I had to jump town and my money's all spent
-When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
Repetition of the activities mentioned earlier (swimming, fishing, jumping off the bridge, playing didge) reinforcing their significance in their lives
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
-When the river's high we jump off the bridge
-And when we get home and play some didge
-When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
-And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
-When the river's high we jump off the bridge
-And when we get home and play some didge
-Rode the BMX, we walked through the bush
Using a BMX bike, walking through the bush (forest)
The boys fight to ride it but I just let them push
Choosing not to fight for ownership, allowing others to use the BMX
Keith stole an egg from a lil kookoo
A person named Keith stole an egg
Kept it safe in his mouth, while he danced the jookoo jookoo
Keeping the stolen egg safe while dancing the "jookoo jookoo"
There?s only one ocean that got fish left
Reference to the declining fish population in the ocean
One day we?ll have to be a really good chef
Aspiration to become a good chef using fish
And I don?t mean us in the bush making meth
Clarifying that the aspiration isn't about making drugs (meth) in the bush
Boys, if you catch meth, you catch your death
Warning against catching drugs (meth) as it could be fatal
When I said that Keith sneezed and had a chick
An incident where Keith sneezes and breaks the egg he was keeping in his mouth
Broke the little egg in his mouth in little bits
-When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
Repetition of the activities mentioned earlier (swimming, fishing, jumping off the bridge, playing didge) reinforcing their significance in their lives
And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
-When the river's high we jump off the bridge
-And when we get home and play some didge
-When it's real hot we go down the river and swim
-And When we go fishing we're catching the bream
-When the river's high we jump off the bridge
-And when we get home and play some didge
