炎夏裡動物園裡有一番新氣象 大件事喇 今次大件事喇 我的心 亂極了 如何才能討他的歡心 夏日應該充滿神話充滿愛 怎可以 怎可以 要我獨舞在陽光下 炎夏裡動物園裡有一番新氣象 大象先生慶幸得了感冒 噴著鼻水當沖涼 熊仔整晚沒有睡 化了個熊貓眼的粧 大件事喇 今次大件事喇 There is something new in the zoo in the hot summer It's a big thing. It's a big thing this time. My heart is in chaos How to please him Summer should be full of myths and love How can it be done Want me to dance alone in the sun There is something new in the zoo in the hot summer Mr. Elephant is lucky to have caught a cold Spray your nose as a shower Bear didn't sleep all night Put on panda eye makeup It's a big thing. It's a big thing this time.

Seluruh kota merupakan tempat bermain yang asyik Oh senangnya, aku senang sekali
 * -|Lyrics=

Kalau begini akupun jadi sibuk Berusaha mengejar-ngejar dia Matahari menyinari semua perasaan cinta Tapi mengapa hanya aku yang dimarahi

Dimusim panas merupakan hari bermain gembira Sang gajah terkena flu Pilek tiada henti hentinya Sang beruang tidur dan tak ada yang Berani ganggu dia Oh sibuknya, aku sibuk sekali The whole city is a great playground Oh I'm happy, I'm very happy
 * -|Translation=

If so, I'll be busy Trying to chase her The sun illuminates all feelings of love But why am I the only one getting scolded?

Summer is a day of happy play The elephant caught the flu The cold is non-stop The bear sleeps and nobody Dares to bother him Oh I'm busy, I'm very busy

짱구는 못말려 (Romanized: Jjang-guneun mosmallyeo; English: Can't Stop Jjanggu) is the first intro to the TV Korean dub of the series for its first six seasons. It was composed by Shim Sang-hyun, with lyrics by Ahn Jung-il. The full song was used as the intro without any cuts.

This version is a completely different song arrangement, using the first Japanese intro as footage.

街上的動物園 糟糕了，這下子糟糕了 其實我也有點小麻煩 追著那傢伙到處跑 夏天的陽光如此燦爛 為什麼一個人卻跳不起舞來 夏天的動物園忙死了 大象用長長的鼻子淋浴 大熊熬夜熬出了黑眼圈 糟糕了，這下子糟糕了 Zoo on the street It's terrible, it's terrible now Actually, I also have a little trouble Chasing that guy everywhere The summer sun is so bright Why can’t a person dance alone? The zoo is very busy in summer Elephant showers with long trunk Big Bear stayed up all night and got dark circles under his eyes It's terrible, it's terrible now
