The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the remixed version of Celebration. Lines marked with ※ are only present on the cover version of the song, and the pop'n music cut fades out once "Yahoo!" is sung towards the end.

* Party with you...
  Everyone around the world
  Come on!

Yahoo!
It's a celebration
Yahoo!

Celebrate good times, come on!
Let's celebrate

There's a party goin' on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you, come on now

Celebration
Let's all celebrate and have a good time
Celebration
We gonna celebrate and have a good time

It's time to come together
It's up to you, what's your pleasure
