While walking around, the phrase “The World Is Crowded” kept coming up in Ruban’s head.

[Chorus]
Woo, the world is crowded
Woo-oo, did your doctor prescribe me, baba?
Woo, the world is crowded
Woo-oo, did your doctor prescribe me, baba?
Woo, the world is crowded

Woo, the world is crowded
Woo-oo, did your doctor prescribe me, baba?
Woo, the world is crowded
Woo-oo, did your doctor prescribe me for what ails you, dear?
