Lyrics
Donna michi datte, Massugu janai darou Sou magarikunette Dekoboko shiteru hazusa Tsurai koto tokiniwa aruyone Bokutachi wa soredemo hashiruyo Amai mono demo ikaga?

S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH!

S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH!

Kanashiku nattara Mabuta wo tojite goran Hora yume no naka nara Namida mo wasurerareru Moshi kokode ensuto shitatte (ensuto is short for engine stall) Bokutachi wa awatetari shinai Amaimono demo ikaga?

S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH!

S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH!

Come down the highway Kakemeguruyo Open Road Genki no gasoline Oh-

S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH! (repeat until end)

English Translation
All roads aren't straight Yes they're windy And most likely bumpy From time to time, things can get rough We'll keep running anyway Would you care for something sweet?

S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH! S-U-G-A-R

Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH!

If you get sad, Just close your eyes Because in your dreams You can forget your worries Even if our engine stalls here, We won't panic Would you care for something sweet?

S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH!

S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH!

Go down the highway Running along the open road Gasoline of energy Oh-

S-U-G-A-R Jump into your racing car Say SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH! (repeat until end)
