The Seven Wonderful Wonders
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Look around cause they're everywhere
Doesn't it blow your mind?
All these wonders
They're all around got to stop and stare
At all these wonders everywhere (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhh, heyyy)
In the ancient world there were seven wonders
We'll start with my favorite
It's really humongous
And it's still here today unlike the others
Its design might be why it survived the longest
Yup, I'm talking about the pyramids
Twenty six hundred B.C. is when they were built
Take a trip really quick
Travel a little bit
You'll see them in the city of Giza in Egypt
Well I guess that we're on to the next one
The hanging gardens of Babylon
The history's a mystery
The date it was built seems to be unknown by anyone
They say that way back in Iraq
Is the place that they built the hanging garden
It is also said that this paradise was planted in an artificial mountain
Amazing, these wonders will blow your mind
You might wanna hold on tight
This could be a wild ride
Look around cause they're everywhere
Doesn't it blow your mind?
All these wonders
They're all around got to stop and stare
At all these wonders everywhere (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhh, heyyy)
Built in the sixth century B.C.
A temple was built over in Turkey
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
Was built for the Greek goddess, Artemis
I guess I better not miss what happened a century before this
Another statue was built which was enormous
Your jaw would drop to your knees
If you saw the forty foot statue of Zeus in Greece
This one was built for king Mausolus
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Built in the fourth century B.C. in the country of Turkey
Its size is monstrous
Amazing, these wonders will blow your mind
You might wanna hold on tight
This could be a wild ride
Look around cause they're everywhere
Doesn't it blow your mind?
All these wonders
They're all around got to stop and stare
At all these wonders everywhere (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhh, heyyy)
On an island in the Mediterranean Sea
Built in the fourth century B.C.
Is a wonder called The Colossus of Rhodes
Built for the Greek sun god, Helios
Hundred and ten foot
This one's for the record books
I wonder how long it took to build
Now my mind's hooked
The view of a statue that huge
Would have you shocked
How cool would that look?
The world's first light house
Used mirrors to reflect the sunlight for miles out
You can see it far away at sea
Built in the third century B.C.
The Light House of Alexandria
Sounds amazing, ma--I'm telling ya
Too bad we can no longer see it
It was in Egypt in Africa
Amazing, these wonders will blow your mind
You might wanna hold on tight
This could be a wild ride
Amazing, these wonders will blow your mind
You might wanna hold on tight
This could be a wild ride
Look around cause they're everywhere
Doesn't it blow your mind?
All these wonders
They're all around got to stop and stare
At all these wonders everywhere (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhh, heyyy)
(Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhh, heyyy)
Look around cause they're everywhere
Doesn't it blow your mind?
