Well, if your an american chili pepper fan, this is what you first heard
when you pressed play on june 8... :)

This song is cool, and funky, but I don't like the chorus that much,
sounds kinda boy-bandish.

The intro is flea, but you can play it on your guitar. I mean, unless
you're with a bassist, then why not?
Just take it down twelve frets if you want to sound more like a bass. :)

Lyrics:

Around The World

All around the world
We could make time
Rompin' and a stompin'
'cause I'm in my prime

Born in the north
And sworn to entertain ya
'cause I'm down for
The state of Pennsylvania

I try not to whine
But I must warn ya
'Bout the girls
From California

Alabama baby
Said hallelujah
Good god girl
I wish I knew ya

I know I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know I know it's you
You say hello and then I say I do

Come back baby
'Cause I'd like to say
I've been around the world
Back from Bombay

Fox hole love
Pie in your face
Living in and out
Of a big fat suitcase

Bonafide ride
Step aside my Johnson
Yes I could
In the woods of Wisconsin

Wake up the cake
It's a lake she's kissin' me
As they do when
When they do in Sicily

I know I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
I know I know it's you
You say hello and then I say I do

Where you want to go
Who you want to be
What you want to do
Just come with me

I saw God
And I saw the fountains
You and me girl
Sittin' in the Swiss mountains

Me Oh My O
Me and Guy O
Freer than a bird
'Cause we're rockin' Ohio

Around the world
I feel dutiful
Take a wife
'Cause life is beautiful

I know I know for sure
(then some crazy stuff)
I know I know it's you
(more crazy chinese sounding nonsense)

Mother Russia do not suffer
I know you're bold enough
I've been around the world
And I have seen your love
I know I know it's you

You say hello then I say I do
