I′m a Barbie girl in a Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on, Barbie, let′s go party!
I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
I′m a blond 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"
I'm a Barbie girl in a 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)

The song "Barbie Girl" by 90s allstars is a tongue-in-cheek representation of the Barbie and Ken dolls. In the song, Ken invites Barbie for a ride, and she is portrayed as someone who is always willing to have fun. She is portrayed as a personification of the perfect life, living in a "fantastic" world of plastic where everything is perfect, and people have the ability to create whatever they want.
The song has a strong message about the dangers of conforming to a certain ideal and living a life that is pre-determined by society. Barbie is portrayed as someone who is willing to be anything you want her to be as long as it makes you happy. The song speaks to the way that girls are made to feel that they need to live up to a certain ideal of beauty, behaviour, and perfect femininity; as Barbie is the quintessential perfect girl toy. However, Barbie is also seen as a sexual object whose only value is in her ability to be played with sexually; this echoes the expectations that women are often reduced to sexual objects.
