It seems like the singer is singing "Let's have a cup of water!" in English. Is he saying something in Japanese that happens to sound like this?

It has some karaoke text in the upper part of the screen, and I guess that's Japanese and not English...

Not when he's saying the phrase in question.

I don't think he's saying anything in English but I can't really make it out because he starts out too far from the
microphone.

I got the answer here:

Let's get "kowaza"
小業 【こわざ】 (n) finer points (e.g. in judo); little tricks
