Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?
Rockapella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!
Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?
Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!
Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
The lyrics to Rockapella's song "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" paint the picture of a notorious thief and criminal mastermind traveling across the globe leaving a trail of stolen goods and chaos in her wake.

As the song continues, she is also accused of stealing Seoul in South Korea, running scams in Scandinavia, and pick-pocketing Perth in Australia. The lyrics are meant to be whimsical and playful, but also showcase the diversity and richness of global cultures and locations.
The chorus of the song, featuring the lines "Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" serves as a call to action for the listener or player to figure out where Carmen is hiding and stop her from committing any more crimes.
