The World Is What You Make I

Paul Brady


I knew this African called Hannibal 
Rock it roll it send it down the avenue 
Went out to see the Roman Empire fall 
Uh huh? uh huh? 

Two thousand elephants in gold chain-mail 
Take it, shake it, make it what you wanna be 
Them Roman legionnaires they hit the trail 
Uh huh? 

The world is what you make it 
The world is what you make it 

When Cleopatra ruled in Egypt's land 
Jump down, turn around, look at what the monkey did 
She went to find herself a mighty man 
Uh huh? uh huh? 

In come Antonio from Italy 
Haul it, ball it, drag it up the pyramid, 
He never knew how hot a girl could be 
Uh huh? 

The world is what you make it 
The world is what you make it baby 
The world is what you make it 

Don't start to hit me with your "no can do" 
Bluesin', losin', workin' up an attitude 
Clean up them windows let the sun shine through 
Uh huh? uh huh? 
There ain't no happy time without no pain 
heartbreak, new date, move on up the alleyway 
Pick up them pieces hit the road again 
Uh huh? 

The world is what you make it 
The world is what you make it baby 
The world is what you make it
