Open your heart, open your mind
A train is leaving all day A wonderful trip through our time And laughter is all U pay Around the world in a day
Now dig
Around the world in a day
ooh-la-la
The little 1 will escort U
Around the world in a day
(summer she is sweet) Around the world in a day
A government of love and music boundless in its unifying power

There was a girl in Paris
Whom he sent a letter 2 Hoping she would answer back Now wasn't that a fool Hardy notion on the part of a Sometimes lonely musician Acting out a whim is only good 4 a condition of the heart There was a dame from London
Thinking about U driving me crazy
There was a woman from the ghetto
Thinking about U driving me crazy
There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris)
