Lyrics of All Around This World version:

Riding on a horse your grandpa, came to me and asked, your grandpa

How I have a child who is so beautiful

I ate dried dates and almonds, I ate dried dates and almonds,

And that is how I have a child who is so beautiful

Riding on a horse your grandma, came to me and asked, your grandma

How I have a child who is so beautiful

I ate dried dates and almonds, I ate dried dates and almonds,

And that is how I have a child who is so beautiful

Riding on a horse your mother, came to me and asked, your mother

How we have a child who is so beautiful

Love must be the answer, Love must be the answer,

Love is how we have a child who is so beautiful
