Letra
Open your heart, open your mind A train is leaving all day A wonderful trip through our time And laughter is all you pay Around the world in a day, oh! Around the world in a day Now dig... Loneliness already knows you There ain't no reason 2 stay Come here, take my hand, I'll show you I think I know a better way, y'all Around the world in a day, ow! (Listen 2 me now) Around the world in a day All the babies sing it now Ooh la, la Ooh la, la, la, la No, sha, sha No, no shouting every day (No shouting every day) No shouting (No shouting) No, no shouting Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha The little one will escort you 2 places within your mind (The former is red, white, and blue) Former is red, white, and blue! (The latter is a purple climb) The latter is a purple - come on and climb! Around the world in a day, sugar (Oh, baby) Around the world in a day Come on, say it! Around the world in a day Say papa, I think I wanna dance! (In summer she?? S sweeter) Around the world in a day {repeat to fade} Oh yeah! All the little babies sing around the world A government of love and music boundless in its unifying power {fade out} A nation of art 2 production Sharing ideas, a shower of flowers - Paisley Park4:41
Letra
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 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 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 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 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 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 Your heart, your heart Paisley Park Your heart, your heart, your heart (sing, sing it) Paisley Park Paisley Park Paisley Park - Condition Of The Heart6:46
Letra
There was a girl in Paris whom he sent a letter 2 Hoping she would answer back now wasn't that a foolhardy 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 you everything and nothing? Love - it only seems 2 buy a terminal condition of the heart Oh - thinking about you, driving me crazy Oh - my friends all say it's just a phase, but? Oh - 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 you And giggle the same giggle that you do? Whenever I would act a fool, the fool with a condition of the heart Oh - thinking about you, driving me crazy Oh - my friends all say it's just a phase, but? Oh - every single day is a yellow day I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard (There was a girl in Paris whom he sent a letter 2) There was a girl? Whom he sent a letter 2 (Hoping she would answer back) She never answered back and now (Wasn't that a foolhardy notion?) He's got a condition of the heart - Raspberry Beret3:31
Letra
1 2 1 2 3 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 too leisurely Seems that I was busy doing something close to 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 you 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 to ask me If I planned to do her any harm So, look here I put her on the back of my bike And 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 too bright But I could tell when she kissed me She knew how to get her kicks She wore a raspberry beret The kind you 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 you are Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees You feel like a movie star Listen They say the first time ain't the greatest But I tell ya If I had the chance to 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 you find (The kind you find) The kind you 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 you 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. - Tamborine2:46
