[Verse 1]
Open your heart, open your mind
A train is leaving all day
A wonderful trip through our time
And laughter is all you pay
[Chorus]
Around the world in a day
Around the world in a day
[Verse 2]
Now dig:
Loneliness already knows you
There ain't no reason to stay
Come here and take my hand, I'll show you
I think I know a better way, y'all
[Chorus]
Around the world in a day
(listen to me)
Around the world in a day
[Bridge]
All the babies sing:
Ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la
No shouting
No shouting
No shouting
[Verse 3]
The little one will escort you
Two places within your mind
The former is red, white, and blue
The ladder is purple, come on and climb
[Modified Chorus]
Around the world in a day
Around the world in a day
Come on, sing
Around the world in a day
Say papa, I think I want to dance
(Summer she is sweet)
Around the world in a day
Around the world in a day
All the little babies, sing around the world
Around the world in a day
[Outro]
A government of love and music boundless in its unifying power
A nation of alms, the production, sharing ideas, a shower of flowers
Open your heart, open your mind
A train is leaving all day
A wonderful trip through our time
And laughter is all you pay
[Chorus]
Around the world in a day
Around the world in a day
[Verse 2]
Now dig:
Loneliness already knows you
There ain't no reason to stay
Come here and take my hand, I'll show you
I think I know a better way, y'all
[Chorus]
Around the world in a day
(listen to me)
Around the world in a day
[Bridge]
All the babies sing:
Ooh-la-la
Ooh-la-la
No shouting
No shouting
No shouting
[Verse 3]
The little one will escort you
Two places within your mind
The former is red, white, and blue
The ladder is purple, come on and climb
[Modified Chorus]
Around the world in a day
Around the world in a day
Come on, sing
Around the world in a day
Say papa, I think I want to dance
(Summer she is sweet)
Around the world in a day
Around the world in a day
All the little babies, sing around the world
Around the world in a day
[Outro]
A government of love and music boundless in its unifying power
A nation of alms, the production, sharing ideas, a shower of flowers
