Barbie Girl Lyrics

[Intro: Lene Nystrøm, René Dif]
Hiya, Barbie
Hi, Ken
You wanna go for a ride?
Sure, Ken
Jump in

[Chorus: Lene Nystrøm, René Dif]
I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
Come on, Barbie, let's go party
I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

[Verse 1: Lene Nystrøm, René Dif]
I'm a blonde bimbo girl in a fantasy world
Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly
You're my doll, rock and roll, feel the glamor in pink
Kiss me here,
touch me there, hanky-panky

[Refrain: Lene Nystrøm]
You can touch, you can play
If you say I'm always yours, ooh woah
[Chorus: Lene Nystrøm]
I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation

[Post-Chorus: René Dif, Lene Nystrøm]
Come on, Barbie, let's go party
Ah, ah, ah, yeah
Come on, Barbie, let's go party
Ooh woah, ooh woah
Come on, Barbie, let's go party
Ah, ah, ah, yeah
Come on, Barbie, let's go party
Ooh woah, ooh woah


[Verse 2: Lene Nystrøm, René Dif]
Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again
Hit the town, fool around, let's go party


[Refrain: Lene Nystrøm]
You can touch, you can play
If you say I'm always yours
You can touch, you can play
If you say I'm always yours
[Outro: Lene Nystrøm, René Dif]
Oh, I'm having so much fun
Well, Barbie, we're just getting started
Oh, I love you Ken

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Barbie Girl” was dance-pop group Aqua’s third single, appearing on their debut record Aquarium.

Due to its explicit removal of innocence from the children’s toys of the same name, the song’s existence ultimately resulted in a lawsuit being filed by Mattel. Mattel v. MCA Records insisted that the group and their record label deliberately violated the Mattel trademark and turned Barbie into a sex object. The judge that finally dismissed the lawsuit ended the ruling by literally advising the parties “to chill.”

“Barbie Girl” received recognition at the Danish Music Awards of 1998 for Danish Hit Of The Year. It dominated the music charts worldwide when it was released, and remains as the group’s biggest hit single in the U.S to date.

The music video received substantial airplay through MTV, and it was directed by Peder Pedersen and Peter Stenbæk.
