Barbie Girl
The 90ers Lyrics

Hiya, Barbie!
A greeting to the person she is addressing, who she calls Barbie

Hi, Ken!
A reply from the person she is addressing, who she calls Ken

You wanna go for a ride?
Asking if the person she is addressing wants to take a ride

Sure, Ken!
A reply from the person she is addressing, agreeing to take a ride

Jump in!
An encouragement to the person she is addressing to get into the vehicle

I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world
A declaration of her identity, relating herself to a popular toy brand

Life in plastic, it's fantastic
A statement about how she sees the positive aspects of living a plastic-made life like a Barbie doll

You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
An invitation to the listener to interact with her body like an object, as if she is a Barbie doll, which can be styled and played with

Imagination, life is your creation
A reflection of how she feels life is what you make of it - even if that means living in a static, plastic-made reality like a Barbie doll

Come on Barbie, let's go party!
An invitation to the listener to join her in a fun activity

I'm a blond, bimbo girl, in a fantasy world
A self-deprecating description of herself, suggesting that she is naive and lacking in intelligence, despite the power that the image of a blonde beauty seems to hold

Dress me up, make me talk, I'm your dollie
An amplification of earlier invitations, suggesting that the listener has even more power over her because they are able to dress her and create an illusion in which she talks and behaves as they would want her to

(Ken)
A reference to the person she is addressing as Ken, cementing their roles within this imagined interaction

You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour and pain
An extension of the power dynamics in which she is more submissive than the person addressing her, with explicit instructions to rock to their music and bask in the attention of their celebrity

Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky
A line with sexual innuendos that suggests she is willing to be sexually intimate with the person she is addressing

You can touch, you can play
A reinforcement of the earlier invitation to interact with her like a doll, with emphasis on the ability to touch and play with her body in any way the person wants

If you say, I'm always yours, oohoh
A final line that indicates complete submission to the person addressing her, almost like a self-objectification to fulfill their fantasies and desires

Ah ah ah yeah
A line that is not easily interpreted, as it could be an expression of excitement or sensuality, repeatedly used throughout the song

Ooh woa, ooh woa
A point of emphasis, almost like an exclamation point or underscore, to indicate the importance of the line that came before

Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
A willingness to fully submit and follow any commands given by the person addressing her

I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
A boast that she can be anything the person addressing her wants her to be, and is even willing to beg for their attention if that's what they desire

Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again
An invitation for the person addressing her to once again interact with her like a toy, and jump into a scenario where they are in control and she is an object

Hit the town, fool around, let's go party
A suggestion to have a good time, likely with the person addressing her, and do whatever they want as long as it's fun

Oh, I'm having so much fun!
An exclamation of joy, showing that she is truly having a good time with the person addressing her

Well Barbie, we're just gettin' started
A suggestion that they have much more yet to do and enjoy together, showing that the interaction between the two has not yet reached its full potential

Oh, I ♡you Ken!
An expression of affection to the person addressing her, seemingly solidifying the playful dynamic they are in
