Driving down the streets, listening to the radio,
what do we get?

Ariana
Reading the papers and the news, they scream,
haven't you heard?

Ariana
She rules the business, she's such a restless genuine juvenile
Everyone knows, wherever she goes
She got chique, she got class, she got style

Arianamaniacs rule the world, haven't you heard
Arianamania sets the scenes on fire, fire

We're goin' nutz for Ariana, we're goin' carrazy for her
Everything glows, wherever she goes
She got sex from her lips to her toes
All the Casanovas and the zombies agree
With the hummingbirds and the beasts from the sea
Ariana's a real sensation, when will she be on the screen

Arianamaniacs rule the world, haven't you heard
Arianamania sets the scenes on fire, fire

Notes:

The version of "Ariana" on the History album opens with a dialogue between two characters, one of whom is called Jojo. Much of it is too indistinct for me to transcribe, but it concerns "Jojo" attempting to hunt for butterflies for Ariana. The song itself is almost identical to the album version.
