VERSE
Pack your suitcase, come on climb aboard, your ride’s at the station
Up with People has your ticket for A World Celebration
Sharing our cultures and traditions, welcoming all nations
Jump in! The key’s in the ignition, A World Celebration

Where all the old stories and centuries converge
Today and tomorrow where hope will emerge
It’s in the music and words, A World Celebration

VERSE
Voices of children at play, A World Celebration
Piñatas and paper maché, A World Celebration
From Europe, South Africa and Mexico
New Zealand and Asia we’ll bring it all home
Anyplace you want to go, A World Celebration

BRIDGE
We’ll be jamming, we’ll be jamming,
we’ll be jamming right into the night
We’ll be laughing, we’ll be dancing,
it’s such a wonderful sight

ENDING
Everyone’s going to be there, A World Celebration
Music is filling the air, A World Celebration
