Around the world in a day

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 

Around the world in a day 



Now dig 

Loneliness already knows U 

There ain't no reason 2 stay 

Come here and take my hand, I'll show U 

I think I know a better way, y'all 



Around the world in a day 

(listen 2 me, babe) 

Around the world in a day 

(all the babies sing it now) 



ooh-la-la 

ooh-la-la-la-la-la-la 

no-sha-sha 

no shouting 

no shouting 

no - no shouting 



The little 1 will escort U 

2 places within your mind 

The former is red, white, and blue 

The ladder is purple, come on and climb 



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 wanna 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 



A government of love and music boundless in its unifying power 

a nation of alms, the production, sharing ideas, a shower of flowers

1, 2, 1, 2, 3 

There is a park that is known 

4 the face it attracts 

colorful people whose hair 

On 1 side is swept back 

The smile on their faces 

It speaks of profound inner peace 

Ask where they're going 

They'll tell U nowhere 

They've taken a lifetime lease 

On Paisley Park 



chorus: 

The girl on the seesaw is laughing 

4 love is the color 

This place imparts (Paisley Park) 

Admission is easy, just say U 

Believe and come 2 this 

Place in your heart 

Paisley Park is in your heart 



There is a woman who sits 

All alone by the pier 

Her husband was naughty 

And caused his wife so many tears 

He died without knowing forgiveness 

And now she is sad, so sad 

Maybe she'll come 2 the park 

And forgive him 

And life won't be so bad 

In Paisley Park 



chorus 



See the man cry as the city 

Condemns where he lives 

Memories die but taxes 

He'll still have 2 give 

(who) Whoever said that elephants 

were stronger than mules? 

Come 2 the park 

And play with us 

There aren't any rules 

In Paisley Park 



chorus repeated 2 times 



your heart, your heart  

Paisley Park  

your heart, your heart, your heart (sing, sing it) 

Paisley Park  

Paisley Park

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 

Who insisted that he love her 

Then left him 4 a real prince 

From Arabia, now isn't that 

A shame that sometimes money 

Buys U everything and nothing 

Love, it only seems 2 buy a 

Terminal condition of the heart 



Thinking about U driving me crazy 

My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh 

Every day is a yellow day 

I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard 



There was a woman from the ghetto 

Who made funny faces just like 

Clara Bow, how was I 2 know 

That she would wear the same 

Cologne as U and giggle the same 

Giggle that U do? 

Whenever I would act a fool, the fool 

With a condition of the heart 



Thinking about U driving me crazy 

My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh 

Every single day is a yellow day 

I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard 



There was a girl (There was a girl in Paris) 

whom he sent a letter to... (Whom he sent a letter 2)  

(Hoping she would answer back) 

She never answered back and now (wasn't that a foolhardy)  

He's got a condition of the heart. (notion ...)

Yeah 



I was working part time in a five-and-dime 

My boss was Mr. McGee 

He told me several times that he didn't like my kind 

'cause I was a bit 2 leisurely 



Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing 

But different than the day before 

That's when I saw her, Ooh, I saw her  

She walked in through the out door, out door 



She wore a 

Raspberry beret 

The kind U find in a second hand store 

Raspberry beret 

And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more 

Raspberry beret 

I think I love her 



Built like she was 

She had the nerve 2 ask me 

If I planned 2 do her any harm 



So, look here 

I put her on the back of my bike 

And-a we went riding 

Down by old man Johnson's farm 



I said now, overcast days never turned me on 

But something about the clouds and her mixed 



She wasn't 2 bright 

But I could tell when she kissed me 

She knew how 2 get her kicks 



She wore a  

Raspberry beret 

The kind U find in a second hand store 

Raspberry beret 

And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more 

Raspberry beret 

I think I love her 



The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof 

And the horses wonder who U are 

Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees 

U feel like a movie star 



Listen 

They say the first time ain't the greatest 

But I tell ya 

If I had the chance 2 do it all again 



I wouldn't change a stroke 

'cause baby I'm the most 

With a girl as fine as she was then 

  



(Raspberry beret) 

The kind U find (The kind U find) 

The kind U find (In a second hand store) 

Oh no no 

(Raspberry beret) 

(And if it was warm) 

Where have all the raspberry women gone? (She wouldn't wear much more) 

Yeah (Raspberry beret) 



I think I... I think I... I think I love her 



(Raspberry beret) 

No No No 

No No No (The kind U find) 

(In a second hand store) 

(Raspberry beret) 

Tell me 

Where have all the raspberry women gone? (And if it was warm she) 

(Wouldn't wear much more) 

(Raspberry beret) 

I think I love...

Oh my God here U are 

Prettiest thing in life I've ever seen 

Close my eyes what's it like, 

What's it like inside your tamborine? 

Oh my God, there I go 

Falling in love with the face in a magazine (uh oh, not again) 

All alone by myself 

Me and I play my tamborine 



Tamborine 

Tamborine 

Tamborine 

Tamborine 

Long days, lonely nights 

Tamborine 

Long days, lonely nights 

Tamborine 



I don't care 4 1 night stands 

With trolley cars 

That juggle 17 

I just want 2 settle down and 

Play around 

My baby's tamborine 



Tamborine what are U 

Why are U the star of 

All my dreams 

(Star of all my dreams, are U a good tamborine) 

Are U good, are U bad 

Are U just unnecessary means 



Tamborine 

Tamborine 

Tamborine 

Trolley cars 



Long days, lonely nights 

2 bad we're not allowed 2 scream (yeah, yeah, too bad) 

Guess that I'll stay at home 

All alone and play my tamborine (aww) 



Tamborine 

Tamborine 

Tamborine 

Tamborine 

The tamborine

Yeah

Living in a 1-room jungle-monkey cage 

Can't get over, she's almost dead

But she's happy she ain't in the red

God shed his grace on thee 

America, America 

Keep the children free 



Freedom 

Love 

Joy

Sex 

Temptation 

Lust 

Pop go mama 

Everybody on this earth has got a vice 

And mine, little darlin', mine is the opposite of ice 

Mine is the running hot water of the daughter of morality 

In other words, this little prince thinks a lot about U, see? 

Baby, baby, baby 

I'm guilty in the first degree 



Temptation 

Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust 

Temptation 

All my fingers in the pool go splash we must 



Everybody in this room 

Everybody in this room has got an urge 

What's yours, baby? 

Mine is temptation, it reigns at a party where lovers splurge 

Pop go mama when daddy gets a little 2 much 

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout? 

Purplelectricity whenever our bodies touch 

Ooh baby, I love it when our bodies touch 



Temptation 

Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust 

Temptation 

All my fingers in the pool go splash we must 



Temptation, temptation, temptation 



Wait a minute now 



Temptation 

Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust 

Temptation 

All my fingers in the pool go splash we must 



Temptation 

Working my body, working my body, working my body 



Temptation 

I'm not talkin' about just ordinary temptation, people. I'm talking 

about the kind of temptation that'll make U do things. 

Oh, oh, temptation. 

Oh, darling, I can almost taste the wetness between your...  

temptation, temptation 

I'm not talking about any ol' kind of temptation, people, I'm talkin'

A lover 

I need a lover, a lover, I need a...right now. 

U, I want U. 

I want U in the worst way. 

I want U. 



"Oh, silly man, that's not how it works. 

You have 2 want her 4 the right reasons." 



I do! 



"U don't, now die!" 



No! No! 



Let me go, let me go. 



I'm sorry. 

I'll be good. 

This time I promise, 

Love is more important than sex. 

Now I understand. 

I have 2 go now. 

I don't know when I'll return. 

Good-bye
