🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
  • Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
  • When she was just a girl
  • She expected the world

Echo the hook

  • This could be para-para-paradise
  • Para-para-paradise
  • This could be para-para-paradise
  • Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
