Hiya, Barbie
Hi, Ken
You want to go for a ride?
Sure, Ken
Jump in

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

Come on, Barbie, let's go party

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

I'm a blonde bimbo girl in a fantasy world
Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly
You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky

You can touch
You can play
If you say, "I'm always yours" (ooh, oh)

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)

Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again
Hit the town, fool around, let's go party

You can touch
You can play
If you say, "I'm always yours"
You can touch
You can play
If you say, "I'm always yours"

Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

I'm a Barbie girl, in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ah ah ah yeah)
Come on, Barbie, let's go party (ooh oh, ooh oh)

Oh, I'm having so much fun
Well, Barbie, we're just getting started
Oh, I love you, Ken

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aqua's song "Barbie Girl" depict a character who perceives herself as a Barbie doll living in an imaginary world made out of plastic. The lyrics also depict the willingness of the Barbie girl to let her imaginary world affect her decisions, allowing herself to be undressed purposely so people can play with her, implying a certain degree of submission. Even though the song was created with the intention of being playful and satirical, the song's message limits women to a mere sexual object, perpetuating gender stereotypes that are damaging.


The use of Barbie, a popular toy depicting an unrealistic body image, reinforces an idea that women should strive to fit into an unattainable mold. Additionally, the singer's willingness to be touched and undressed everywhere can be seen as promoting non-consensual behavior, which is harmful.
