Lyrics:

Tuwing umaga Alas Singko y Medya
Handa na sa mundo, buo ang araw ko
Ang takbo ng trapik kabisado mo
at report sa panahon, ang headlines ating dyaryo

Si Julius at Tin-tin ang kasama mo
Kapiling natin sa umagang ito
Alas Singko y Medya tanging para sa'yo
Nais kong malaman mo

Alas Singko y Medya na!
Paboritong palabas ko sa umaga
Halina't gumising na! 
Tayo na't manood ng
Alas Singko y Medya

(instrumental)

Alas Singko y Medya na!
Paboritong palabas  ko sa umaga
Halina't gumising na!
Tayo na't manood ng
Alas Singko y Medya

Alas Singko y Medya na!
Alas Singko y Medya na!
Alas Singko y Medya na!
(Alas Singko y Medya na...)​
