[Intro]
Who are those great looking dolls?
It's quick curl-Barbie and mod-hair Ken!
But what do I do with my old Barbie?
[Chorus]
S-U-B-A-R-B-I-E-A, S-U-B-A-R-B-I-E-A
Yeah, Su-Barbie-A
[Verse]
If you're going to tell me you don't like this dress
I'm sticking my head right in the oven
Oh, honey!
I feel fantastic, hey hey hey
The fact is:
You, being the artist that you are, being the age that you are
Having the body that you have
Having the face shape that you have, this really does work for you!
Now, you are not, uh being the real adult in this
Not with this hair, and not with this dress!
Honestly, I feel like I'm celebrating (Barbie) and I love
Girl, be honest is there any possible way you could think for a second about what somebody else might think of this?
[Bridge]
Doll!
I love your wives, They're so, uh
Fuzzy fuzzy cute cute!
Barbie's changed, Barbie's new and different!
The Stepfords!
I don't like tea, I like gin
Even if they don't like me, they all know me
[Outro]
Be who you wanna be, girl!
B-A-R-B-I-E
Tanner wants a treat!
So cute! Oh excuse us!
You potty trained Tanner, Barbie!
Barbie girl
