"The World Is What You Make It" lyrics

I knew this African they call Hannibal
Rock it, roll it, send it down the avenue
Went out to see the Roman Empire fall, uh-huh, uh-huh
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, uh-huh

The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it

When Cleopatra ruled 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, 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 the pieces, hit the road again, uh-huh, uh-huh

The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it

The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it
