With your sexy lady bits
And your sexy man bits too
Even you must be in to you
All the ladies in the world

Show you some gratitude
By makin' love to you it's the least we can do
If every soldier in the world
Put down his weapon and picked up a woman
What a peaceful world this world would be
Redheads not warheads
Blondes not bombs
We're talkin' about brunettes not fighter jets
Oh oh it's got to be Sweet 16's not M-16's
When will the governments realize it's got to be funky sexy ladies?
I have a vision and all I can see
Is all of you with 'a all of me
In a world of peace and harmony
Where every lady gets a little piece of Brety
I've been to Paris, Wellington and Amsterdam
And a wham-bam, Merci, Danke, thank 'a you ma'm
I don't care if you're ugly or you're skanky or you're small
I just wanna do a little something special for y'all
All the ladies, in the world, you deserve it, Girl
All the old ladies
All the clean ladies
All the ladies, in the world
All the crazy ladies
