Verse 1:
My name is Johnnie; Me llamo Juan
Did you know folks in England call a shrimp a prawn?
There?s a couple hundred languages; On the Earth
Do you know what they speak in Fort Worth? Or Perth?

Chorus:
Learning other languages is a passport to the world
You travel in your mind to far-off lands
It takes a lot of studying and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
But it?s great to do if you ever get the chance

Verse 2:
My name is Johnny?in Russia Ivan
In French I?d mean ?Let?s go!? when I say ?nous allons?
If I want to have a pen pal in Mexico
I?ll learn to read and write and speak in Espanol

Bridge:
It?s Das Vidanya in Russia, in Japan Arigato
It?s Shukram or Toda in the Middle East
It?s Danka Tak and Kiitos in the European snow
And Xie Xie at a great big Chinese feast
It?s Thank you, Thank you, Thank you all around the world
A billion Indians say Danyavad
It?s Asanti in Swahili in Africa
It?s a worldwide fiesta

Chorus
