Global a Go-Go

[Intro]
World service bulletin, from the nightshift DJ
To all wavebands on earth
Reconnoitre on the killahertz
This tune is going out to Marconi
To all corners of the globe
There is no hut in the Serengeti
Where my wavelengths do not probe
An' if a rocket went to Saturn
We sure hope a DJ is on board
For some anti-gravity mixing
With two dubplates of U-Roy
Throwdown

[Verse 1]
Stray Cat strut in Bulawayo
Buddy Rich in Burundi
Quadrophenia in Armenia
Armenia City in the sky
Big Youth booming in Djakarta
Nina Simone over Sierra Leone
Wild sound of Joujouka in Nevada
Everywhere, everywhere
Bob's bringing it all back home

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I let the boogie-woogie rumble
In the back of Bangalore
I get complaints from Bondi Beach
What, no longboard surf hardcore?
Oh, send the rock steady out to Freddy
Who juggles plates in Tsing Tao City
'Cause tonight
Bo Diddley's in Finland Station
Sun Ra's in Omaha
The Skatalites in New York City
The Stooges rule over Habana
The Bhundu Boys rock Acapulco
Good hip hop in Islamabad
Ali Farke Toure's in Oaxaca
N'Baaba Maal's all over Stalingrad

[Verse 3]
While some are waking, some are sleeping
From Kamchatka to the Gabon
Above the Tradewind wingtips beating
We calling out for Ronnie
And da do Ron Ron Ron

[Outro]
We call the Cumbria to tumble
Across the peaks of the Himalayas
We send the funk into the jungle
To the last outpost of the bass player
