Lyrics
Well, I get up in the morning and I crawl out of bed; working nine to five is not for me.
I've got too much ambition to stay in this position and to many places to see.
Bring on fame and fortune, 'cause I'm on fire.
Soon I'll be a big star. Are you coming along for the ride?
I'm gonna be
Worldwide, baby. Globally known. I'm gonna be worldwide, baby; famous far from home.
Now I've got contracts, greenback, caviar and contacts who buy my pricey bottles of wine.
With my supermodel girlfriend, everyday's the weekend, my Bentley isn't hard to find.
See, I'm on the road to glory, a real high-flier. My name will be in big lights soon, you know it's just a matter of time 'til I become...
Worldwide, baby. Globally know. I'm gonna be worldwide baby, famous far from home.
(repeat chorus)
