[Intro]
I've been around the world - hey, hey
I've been around the world - hey, hey
In the kitchen where I'm cooking what is good for me
Spices from the globe
Little by little it's the finest meal
It's appetite for hope - come and see

[Verse 1]
You mix it all together in your dreams
Ingredients from the Seven Seas and
I'm realizing things ain't what they seem
That's the riddle of it
That's the spirit of it
That's the power of life

[Chorus]
I've been around the world (Round the world)
And I've seen it all (Seen it all)
I've been around the world (Round the world)
The sun will always rise and fall
I've been around the world (Round the world)
And I want you to see (Seen it all)
I've been the only girl (Round the world)
All surrounded by mystery

[Verse 2]
In the living room I'm cleaning up from top to floor
The place I love the most
The wall is covered up with all my souvenirs
I've got from coast to coast - come and see
You mix it all together in your dreams
Ingredients from the Seven Seas and
I'm realizing things ain't what they seem
That's the riddle of it
That's the spirit of it
That's the power of life

[Chorus]
I've been around the world (Round the world)
And I've seen it all (Seen it all)
I've been around the world (Round the world)
The sun will always rise and fall
I've been around the world (Round the world)
And I want you to see (Seen it all)
I've been only girl (Round the world)
All surrounded by mystery

[Bridge]
I'm still coming around
I keep chasing dreams
Girl, I keep coming around - hey, hey
I keep coming around
And I can never stop
Girl, I keep coming around
Cause if I do I'll walk
Around around - hmm, around the world

[Chorus]
I've been around the world (Round the world)
Hey, hey (Seen it all)
I've been around the world (Round the world)
All surrounded by mystery
I've been around the world (Round the world)
And I've seen it all (Seen it all)
I've been around the world (Round the world)
The sun will always rise and fall
Round the world

Aqua

In the world of bubblegum pop, there’s been no one who could touch Aqua’s fame.

Aqua (1996-2001/2008-2012/2016) is a Danish bubblegum pop group who are extremely famous not only in Denmark, but worldwide. They’ve sold a total of 28 million albums and singles worldwide. The group consists of Lene Nystrøm, René Dif, Søren Rasted, and ex-member Claus Norreen. The group is most known for their massive single “Barbie Girl”.

The group members met in 1988 and were going to be called Joyspeed. The band formed in 1994 and their first single was “Itsy Bitsy Spider”. The single was a commercial failure and failed to chart in other countries. After this failure, the group left their label to go to record label company Universal and changed their name to Aqua.
