Lyrics
Intro
Starts with the lonely, rhythmic sound of a woodblock (mùyú) and a deep gong (luó). A funky bassline slowly fades in. A male voice whispers in Mandarin, like an old proverb.
拐哥一条腿，走出十条街...
他的故事，比酒还烈...
Verse 1
The beat kicks in: an upbeat, indie-dance rhythm with a funky Erhu riff. The male vocal is a playful, conversational rap.
村里有个拐哥，腿脚有点瘸
口袋里没钱，脑子里有绝活
他不拜神佛，只信脚下土
说天地是赌场，我们来跳舞 DANCE!
Chorus
The music explodes. Festive Suona horns join in. A powerful, catchy gang vocal chant, listing the "Lost Kids".
老大偷鸡蛋！老二躲田边！
三姐会说谎！四弟爱喝酒！
五妹打瞌睡！老六翻墙头！
七仔不说话！八妹最爱闹！
老九爱做梦！老十总在笑！
我们是走丢仔！BOOM! We want FREEDOM!
Verse 2
The beat gets faster, more frantic. The rap becomes more energetic and boasts a little.
先生说要守规矩，我们说OK
把书本都撕掉，听节奏才对
他们建高墙，我们挖地道
拐哥的智慧，是心里的野草
Chorus
The music explodes again. The Suona horns are wilder, the beat more intense. The gang vocals are louder.
老大偷鸡蛋！老二躲田边！
三姐会说谎！四弟爱喝酒！
五妹打瞌see！老六翻墙头！
七仔不说话！八妹最爱闹！
老九爱做梦！老十总在笑！
我们是走丢仔！BOOM! WE WANT FREEDOM!
Bridge
The music cuts to only traditional percussion: gongs, drums, and fast bamboo clappers (kuaibǎn), simulating a chaotic village ritual dance. Shouted words over the top.
跳！(Tiào!)
闹！(Nào!)
笑！(Xiào!)
DANCE!
Outro
The full band crashes back in, faster and more chaotic than before. Everyone sings along, like a massive village party spiraling out of control. They repeat the names of the kids in a frenzy, then the song cuts abruptly.
老大老二三姐四弟五妹老六七仔八妹老九老十！
我们都是走丢仔！
拐哥只是笑一笑… OK!
Sound of a loud gong being hit and then suddenly muffled by a hand.
