Around The World
LIVING ROOM - Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rompin' and a-stompin' 'cause I'm in my prime
Born in the North and sworn to entertain ya
'Cause I'm down for the state of Pennsylvania
I try not to whine, but I must warn ya
'Bout the motherfuckin' girls from California
Alabama baby said, "Hallelujah"
Good God, girl, I wish I knew ya
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
Well, I know, I know it's you
You say, "Hello" and then I say, "I do"
Come back, baby, 'cause I'd like to say
I've been around the world, back from Bombay
Fox hole love, pie in your face
Livin' in and out of a big fat suitcase
Bonafide ride, step aside, Mike Johnson
Yes, I could, in the woods of Wisconsin
Wake up the cake, it's a lake, she's kissin' me
As they do when they do in Sicily
I know, I know for sure
That life is beautiful around the world
Well, I know, I know it's you
You say, "Hello" and then I say, "I do"
Where you wanna go? Who you wanna be?
What you wanna do? Just come with me
Oh, I saw God and I saw the fountains
You and me, girl, sittin' in the Swiss mountains
Me, oh my, oh, me and Guy O
Freer than a bird 'cause we're rockin' Ohio
Around the world, I feel dutiful
Take a wife 'cause life is beautiful
I know, I know for sure
Ding, dang, dong, dong, ding, ding, dong, dong, ding, dang
Well, I know, I know it's you
Ding, dang, dong, dong, ding, ding, dong, dong, ding, dang
Mother Russia, do not suffer, I know you're bold enough
I've been around the world and I have seen your love
Well, I know, I know it's you
You say, "Hello" and then I say, "I do"

Fun fact about the ding dong bing bong part:
When the band first wrote this song they had the melody ready but still didn’t have the lyrics for the song, so instead of singing words, their plan was to use the ding-dongs until they had something else. When they finally did, they went back to the studio to record the song. Flea’s daughter heard the new version and, disappointed, told her dad she missed the ding-dongs, so the band decided to bring them back, albeit only for the last chorus.
@YurrWhat
I remember hearing The Black Keys do the same kind thing when they write a song. It was on the Joe Rogan podcast. I'm pretty sure most people use that for writing lyrics.
@rockreviews3576
@@YurrWhat it does help but I think some people just have it in their bones to write music and not have to do that.
