All Around The World

(La la la la la la)
It's a mighty fine ride you got there, partner
Yeah, buddy
Does it drive, does it drive
(La la la la la la)
If you don't get that car up off that ground
I'm gonna give you a five dollar parking ticket
(La la la la la la)
That's my partner's car, man
Now look it here, I don't care who is driving
(La la la la la la)
Good, man, that's my partner's car, that's his car
Wait a minute

Saw a low rider cruising down Sunset
Who had an amazing machine (tell me about it)
He built it so low to the concrete
They called it the green submarine
(Hey man, you want a ride in my carrucha?)

(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
All around the world

I went down to old Mexico City (drunk now)
I met a beautiful lady
She was such a fine señorita
And now we've got twenty-five babies (say what?)
Now you've got twenty-five babies

(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
All around the world

Love to play our music
Play our funky music
In each and every land
Making people happy
Keeping people dancing
Listen to The Music Band

(La la la la la la)
If this is Tuesday, it must be Denmark
I got my ticket, I'm ready to go
(La la la la la la)
How did we get this gig way over in Copenhagen, oh yeah
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)

I got a phone call from a schoolmate (schoolmate)
Who asked us to play in his club
We don't make no money in Denmark (what?)
In Denmark we just play for love

(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
All around the world

(Hey Dee, look at this pretty dress I got here)
In Kyoto I bought a kimono
It brought my old lady to tears
One day while out shopping in Pomona
She found it much cheaper at Sears
(Hey man, I want my money back)

(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
All around the world

Love to play our music
Play our funky music
In each and every land
Making people happy
Keeping people dancing
Listen to The Music Band

(La la la la la la)
Hey man, what is that kangaroo you got?
(La la la la la la)
That thing is gonna be the world's champion boxer
(La la la la la la)
I spent a lot of money for this thing, man
(La la la la la la)
You mean, he's gonna fight Muhammad Ali?

One day while strolling down under
In search of our pet kangaroo
(Alright, tell me about it)
We met a sweet loving Aussie named Wanda
Who taught us to digeridoo
(Come on, do it, baby)

(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
All around the world

Got news for you people from Brooklyn (uh huh)
Your bridge will no longer be free
Tomorrow I'll be the new landlord (alright)
The city just sold it to me

You bought the Brooklyn Bridge?
(La la la la la la)
I just made the down payment
(La la la la la la)
I'll be your partner, man
(La la la la la la)
(La la la la la la)
All around the world

Love to play our music
Play our funky music
In each and every land
Making people happy
Keeping people dancing
