Lyrics
Beautify your room, start with your room
Somewhere you know, beautify your home
Beautify your face, start with a face
A face that you know, then beautify your soul
Beautify ... beautify ... beautify
Beautify your world, the one that surrounds you
Beautify your world when it's ugly around you
Start with your room, start with your face
Then beautify you, beautify your space
It's no lie - you can make an island grow
It's no lie - you can make your world glow
Who cares if it's in fashion, who cares if it's cool
Just beautify, beautify, beautify, beautify
The space around you
Beautify your room, beautify your space
Beautify the sky - paint the sky!
Beautify your view - make it really new
Fill it with plants and birds and colours
Beautify ... beautify ... beautify
(Paint your knees and button your nose ... beautiful!)
Oh ... oh ... oh ... ohhhh ... oh yeah,
Beautify your lips, your ugly little toes
Beautify your hips and powder up your nose
Beautify the sky ... my oh, my oh, my
Beautify the air, beautify the sea
Beautify the trees, beautify the street
Beautify ... school
Cleanse and purify. Beautify! BEAUTIFY!
Beautify the poor.
Beautify the hopeless.
The sick and the scared.
(Or couldn't you care less?)
