BSS (SEVENTEEN) “CBZ (Prime Time)” Lyrics
Hangul
They call us 부석순
Hey-ey, Hey-ey, Hey-eyy
뭣도 아닌 일에 입이
거칠어지는 평일
할 일이 터져 마치 뜨거운 팝콘 같지
에라 모르겠다
Everyday 사춘기야
[호시/도겸] “우린 젊기에” 해 뜨는 날이 오겠지
청바지 (청바지)
싹 다 갈아입고 나와
청바지
맘대로 해 아무렴 어때
어머니 잔소리 딱 하나 빼고
걱정을 왜 벌써 하니
행복은 부석순
우리는 청바지라네 Let’s go
Hey, Hey
행복은 부석순 우리는 청바지라네
왜 퇴근해도 내
Phone은 정상 영업 중인지
불어나는 메시지 잘못 눌러 확인하지
에라 모르겠다
Everyday 사춘기야
[호시/승관] 오늘 드레스 코드는 청바지라네
청바지 (청바지)
싹 다 갈아입고 나와
청바지
맘대로 해 아무렴 어때
아버지 잔소리 딱 하나 빼고
걱정을 왜 벌써 하니
행복은 부석순
우리는 청바지라네 Let’s go
‘청춘은 바로 지금’
‘청춘은 바로 지금’
‘청춘은 바로 지금’
‘청춘은 바로 지금’
‘청춘은 바로 지금’
‘청춘은 바로 지금’
‘청춘은 바로 지금’
’청-청-청’
여보세요 나의 맘에
청춘을 가득히 따라 주시오
한잔하세 바로 지금을 담아
행복은 부석순 우리는 청바지라네

Translation
They call us BSS
Hey-ey, Hey-ey, Hey-eyy
Small things set off a mouthful
of rough words on weekdays
To-do list exploding like Hot popcorn
Oh, whatever
Everyday’s like puberty
“We’re young” the sun will rise some day
CBZ (CBZ)
Everyone go change into your
CBZ
Do whatever you want, who cares
Except one thing, mother’s nagging
Why do you worry already
Happiness is BSS,
we are CBZ Let’s go
Hey, Hey
Happiness is BSS, we are CBZ
I’m clocked out so why’s my
phone still hard at work
Messages piling up, open with a slip of my finger
Oh, whatever
Everyday’s like puberty
Today’s dress code It’s CBZ
CBZ (CBZ)
Everyone go change into your
CBZ
Do whatever you want, who cares
Except one thing, father’s nagging
Why do you worry already
Happiness is BSS,
we are CBZ Let’s go
‘Youth is now’
‘Youth is now’
‘Youth is now’
‘Youth is now’
‘Youth is now’
‘Youth is now’
‘Youth is now’
’You-You-You’
Hello, fill my heart
Pour some youth to the brim
Let’s have a glass, spiced with now
Happiness is BSS, we are CBZ
