Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All around the world, we could make time
Rompin' and a-stompin' 'cause I'm in my prime
Born in the North and sworn to entertain ya
'Cause I'm down for the state of Pennsylvania
I try not to whine but I must warn ya
'Bout the motherfuckin' girls from California
Alabama baby said, "Hallelujah"
Good God, girl, I wish I knew ya
[Chorus]
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know, I know it's you
You say, "Hello" and then I say, "I do"
[Verse 2]
Come back, baby, 'cause I'd like to say
I've been around the world, back from Bombay
Fox hole love, pie in your face
Living in and out of a big fat suitcase
Bonafide ride, step aside, Mark Johnson
Yes, I could, in the woods of Wisconsin
Wake up the cake, it's a lake she's kissin' me
As they do when they do in Sicily
[Chorus]
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know, I know it's you
You say, "Hello" and then I say, "I do"
[Verse 3]
Where you want to go, who you want to be
What you want to do, just come with me
I saw God and I saw the fountains
You and me, girl, sitting in the Swiss mountains
Me oh my O, me and Guy O
Freer than a bird 'cause we're rockin' Ohio
Around the world, I feel dutiful
Take a wife 'cause life is beautiful
[Chorus]
I know, I know for sure
Ding, dang, dong, dong, deng, deng, dong, dong, ding, dang
I know, I know it's you
Ding, dang, dong, dong, deng, deng, dong, dong, ding, dang
[Outro]
Mother Russia, do not suffer, I know you're bold enough
I've been around the world and I have seen your love
I know, I know it's you
You say, "Hello" and then I say, "I do"
