Translation notes/extra context:
Again - the chicken theme: Afterparty = jatkot, kot kot = chicken noises. Continues with 'please lay that afterparty' = lay as in lay eggs (it doesn't really mean anything in Finnish either)
'I don't want to slow dance' + Celine Dion refer to the custom in Finnish bars and nightclubs, they usually play some slow song/ballad as a last song at 3:30am. That's the time when they flash the lights on as a sign that the place is closing soon (the last call) and it's time to go home. (K is probably referring to My Heart Will Go On as the song but that's only my quess)
'How hard can it be to take that task?' - he's still expecting somebody to arrange the afterparty for him, this one was a bit tricky to translate accurately

Kot Kot lyrics + English translation
Mayday
Hukun tähän kuplivaan
Muut meni minä jäin kuppilaan
Täällä mä oon
Mä ja Celine Dion
Fiksut on lähteny nukkumaan
Mut on tuomittu juhlimaan
Täällä mä oon
En haluu tanssia hitait haluun jatkot-kot-kot
Pliis munikaa ne jatkot-kot-kot
Missä hitos mun ukot-kot-kot
Rupee pot-pot-potuttaa
Pelottaa ettei jatkopläänit ehkä osukaa
Kuumottaa tosissaan, osoite ois saatava
Ku poket tos jo hoputtaa
Siis vastatkaa ny, saatana!
(Numeroon ei juuri nyt saada yhteyttä)
Perhana! Miten nii ei tänäänkää oo kellää aikaa hengata
Pilkku lyö ku liekit vasten yksinäisen kasvoja
Tää klubi on yht tyhjä ku sen katsoja
Mayday
Hukun tähän kuplivaan
Muut meni minä jäin kuppilaan

En haluu tanssia hitait haluun jatkot-kot-kot
Pliis munikaa ne jatkot-kot-kot

Kuinka siit on niin vaikee ottaa koppii
Ne nokkii, naputtaa
Sanoo ala laputtaan ja koittaa ulos taluttaa
Taas tartun kapulaan
(The number you have dialed cannot be reached)
Perhana! Koton ei oo ketään eikä ketään kelle tekstata
Pilkku lyö ku liekit vasten yksinäisen kasvoja
Tää klubi on yht tyhjä ku sen katsoja
Mayday
Hukun tähän kuplivaan

Mayday
I'm drowning in this sparkling
The others are gone I stayed in this bar
Here I am
Me and Celine Dion
Smart ones have left to sleep
I'm doomed to party
Here I am
I don't want to slow dance I want the afterparty
Please lay that afterparty
Where the hell are my dudes
I'm getting pissed off
Scared that the afterparty plans won't work out
Truly anxious, need to get an address
As the bouncers are rushing me
So pick up now, saatana!
(The number cannot be reached right now)
Perhana! How come nobody has time to hangout today either
The last call hits like flames against the lonely one's face
This club is as empty as its viewer
Mayday

I don't want to slow dance I want the afterparty
Please lay that afterparty
Where the hell are my dudes
I don't want to go home
How hard can it be to take that task?
They're pecking, knocking
Saying get away from here and try to lead me out
I grab the phone again
(The number you have dialed cannot be reached)
Perhana! At home there's nobody and there's nobody to text to
The last call hits like flames against the lonely one's face
This club is as empty as its viewer
Mayday
