Global Carnival

(album: Paradise In Gazankulu - 1988)

It's the first annual global
Global carnival
It's the first annual global, global carnival
It's the first annual global
Global carnival
It's the first annual global (Ah let's get down) Global
Carnival Global carnival

We go have a jamboree
The biggest one you'll ever see
We go revel in every nation
It's go be a celebration Hear the music and feel the beat
On every corner, and every street
Close the Kremlin, the congress too
It's a worldwide hullabaloo

At the first annual global
Global carnival
At the first annual global carnival (What ah say)
At the first annual global
Global carnival
At the first annual global carnival
(Ah let's have a party) Global
Carnival Global carnival

Israel and Palestine forming up a conga line
The Ayatollah and the Pope
Doing a limbo under a rope
Princess Di and the I.R.A
Well, they jamming with a Rasta from Montego Bay
Forget the left , forget the right
Ah ah we go party tonight At the first annual global
Global carnival
At the first annual global carnival (Ah hum)
At the first annual global
Global carnival
At the first annual global carnival. Global (ah, talk to me)
Carnival
Global carnival
Ah let's do it do it do it do it do it do it

Sikhs, Basques, Serbo-Croatian
Cambodians all join in the festivities
Hindu, Muslin, Jews, Christian
It doesn't matter what ever your proclivities
But let me make it very clear
Nobody goes hungry here

Margaret Thatcher parking cars
Fidel Castro passing out cigars
The C.I.A. and the K.G.B
Tye swapping secrets in a mango tree
I say it's crazy but you will see
We gonna make it reality
So let's get crazy you and me
Will jam to save humanity

At the first annual global
Global carnival
At the first annual global carnival
At the first annual global
Global carnival
At the first annual global carnival

It's the first annual global carnival
It's the first annual global
Global carnival
It's the first annual global carnival
