Two thousand elephants in gold chain-mail Take it, shake it, make it what you wanna be Them Roman legionnaires they hit the trail Uh huh? The world is what you make it The world is what you make it When Cleopatra ruled in Egypt's land Jump down, turn around, look at what the monkey did She went to find herself a mighty man Uh huh? uh huh? In come Antonio from Italy Haul it, ball it, drag it up the pyramid, He never knew how hot a girl could be Uh huh? The world is what you make it The world is what you make it baby The world is what you make it Don't start to hit me with your "no can do" Bluesin', losin', workin' up an attitude Clean up them windows let the sun shine through Uh huh? uh huh? There ain't no happy time without no pain Heartbreak, new date, move on up the alleyway Pick up them pieces hit the road again Uh huh? The world is what you make it The world is what you make it baby The world is what you make it
