Donna and The Aspinauts have an adult version of the Barbie song, but I’ve reworked the lyrics for a kids version.  Enjoy

BARBIE by lyrics and music by Donna Williams 2008

VERSE 1

All lipstick, legs and long blond hair.

All made up with that vacant stare

All dressed up, she goes out to play with friends

She is a famous movie star.

She drives a most expensive car in

diamond rings, and all the most important things in a land of plastic dreams,

plastic dreams.

CHORUS

Sometimes poor Barbie, is so sad, oh yeah

I think she’d like to be a much happier “d-a” “g”.

Sometimes poor Barbie, is so sad,

sadder than me, whoa, oh, oh

sadder than me, whoa, oh, oh

VERSE 2

Barbie has such expensive tastes,

her packaging all goes to waste,

she is a very plastic girl.

Why is poor Barbie awfully thin?

Her mouth is shut, no food gets in.

She must be cold in such short clothes

but she can’t catch cold with plastic nose

for sure, oh for sure.

CHORUS

Sometimes poor Barbie, is so sad, oh yeah

I think she’d like to be a much happier “d” “a” “g”.

Sometimes poor Barbie, is so sad,

sadder than me, whoa, oh, oh

sadder than me, whoa, oh, oh

VERSE 3

She’s got a big cheerleader smile. That must cause cramp after a while

but hers is baked onto her face.

If she could speak, maybe she’d said, she prefers to wear yellow and red

and how she has got tired of pink,

and how she doesn’t like her mink at all,

not at all.

CHORUS

Sometimes poor Barbie, is so sad, oh yeah

I think she’d like to be a much happier “d” “a” “g”.

Sometimes poor Barbie, is so sad,

sadder than me, whoa, oh, oh

sadder than me, whoa, oh, oh
