Parody of "Little Numbers" by BOY, ©2011 Sonja Glass/Valeska Anna Steiner/Kohaw Music Inc. Parody lyrics by Beth Kinderman. Subject matter: the board game of the same name.

lyrics

Waiting for some ore or for some loom
So that I can build Halikarnassos soon
Or rearrange and just take that Clay Pool
That stuff is hard to get when I play next to you

Looking at the cards that pass on by
While Rome is choosing leaders at my side
Red cards are quite rare I realize
Then I wonder which color to try

Seven ancient wonders
Baby, wonder where to start
Seven ancient wonders
Gotta learn each pack by heart

Woo-oh, oh-oh, all the different things that I could build
Woo-oh, oh-oh, resources or science or guilds
Woo-oh, oh-oh, sure I'll play another round or two
These wonders could be lucky for you

I change my strategy and buy some blue
I can't think of another thing to do
And Plato's worth a lot of points, it's true
But if Gizah takes that Spies' Guild and hides it
Then I guess that I'm just screwed

Seven ancient wonders
Baby, wonder where to start
Seven ancient wonders
Gotta learn each pack by heart
Seven ancient wonders
By next age it all can change
Seven ancient wonders
Always losing at this game

Woo-oh, oh-oh, all the different things that I could build
Woo-oh, oh-oh, resources or science or guilds
Woo-oh, oh-oh, sure I'll play another round or two
These wonders could be lucky for you

Should I pick Aqueducts or Walls, Vineyards or Walls - tell me
Is there a way to win at all, for me at all - tell me
Should I pick Aqueducts or Walls, Vineyards or Walls - tell me
Is there a way to win at all, for me at all

Woo-oh, oh-oh, all the different things that I could build
Woo-oh, oh-oh, resources or science or guilds
Woo-oh, oh-oh, sure I'll play another round or two
These wonders could be lucky for you

Woo-oh, oh-oh
Woo-oh, oh-oh
Woo-oh, oh-oh
These wonders could be lucky (These wonders could be lucky)
These wonders could be lucky for you
