Open happiness single, "Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Coca-Cola!" brought to you by Coca-Cola and Pilipinas Got Talent's Buildex Pagales!

Lyrics:
Lain laing luna ang atong gigikanan
Ang atong panag' uban wala'y kaparehas
Mao nga dali na, itodo na nato
Isinggit na, ang gugma sa atong dakbayan

CHORUS
Madayaw Davao! Dinhi kusog ang pagkamadagipon
Madayaw Davao! Dinhi malipayon ang kinabuhi
Dinhi ang akong gugma, dili mahanaw
Dinhi ang akong garbo, wala'y katapusan

Mao nga pagmata na! Ipakita sa kalibutan
Kini ang tinood! Ang atong garbo!
Mao nga dali na! Itodo ng kalipay
Awiton ta ang gugma sa akong dakbayan!

Madayaw Davao! Gusto namo ang labaw sa tanan
Madayaw Davao! Lahi ra gyud kung magka uban uban
Dinhi ang akong gugma, dili mahanaw
Dinhi ang akong garbo, wala'y katapusan

Dili ko garboso, gusto lang nako isangyaw
Lain lain man ang atong mga panglantaw
Usa lang ang makahatag pahiyom
Biisan asa man makaabot nga dapit
Kini gihapon ang gina binabalik-balikan

CHORUS x2
Madayaw Davao, Madayaw Davao! x2
