Around the World in Eight Stanzas

Let’s explore the world.
Visit Earth’s greatest places.
Won’t that be so fun?

Welcome to New York.
Universal melting pot.
America rules.

To London, England.
Everyone’s so smart and rich.
Home of The Beatles.

Next stop, Paris, France.
Land of art, love, and fashion.
The City of Light.

Number four, Egypt.
There’s sand, pyramids, and sand.
Yeah, it’s that sandy.

China, what a beaut.
The Great Wall is really great.
Drink tea, feel some silk.

Tokyo, Japan.
Where the past meets the present.
Where the sun rises.

It’s a big big world.
Everyone on this blue rock.
Is truly our friend.
