Hey guys, spent about a week working on this, what id say is the most complete version of lapti nek’s lyrics.
i have attempted to transcribe the original English lyrics using return of the ewok as a base.
here is my current write up, this is being used for a fan edit to extend the lapti nek scene from ROTJ, and provide subtitles for the untranslated scenes.

Lyrics (English)
Arrroooow! (only featured in From star wars to jedi)
Wow!
My body heat is risin’, Ow! My soul is sympathisin’ Ooh Oh!
The lover man is comin’, ow! So i’m shapin’ up and workin’ out!
I feel my heart pumpin’, Ooh Oh oh! My whole frame is thumpin’
It’s the dance to make Pumpin’, I’m shapin’ up and workin’ out! (Possibly Tis’ the dance)
People sing!
Fancy Man!
Gotta work the grind, You gotta take the Key! ow! Whoo! (possibly take the keep, tho that makes less sense)
Fancy Man!
Gotta feel the heat, gotta walk the street! Wow!
Fancy Man!
You gotta move you’re body, You gotta work you’re feet!
Start Workin’ Out!
Uhh! Ow! Wow! Whoo!
Back up singers continue
Hard workin’ Pumpin’
