Lyrics: 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 (Good god, Mama) Carnival (Look at the band, passin' hey hey) Carnival (Back to back, belly to belly, well I don't give a damn! Done dead already) Carnival (Mama, look at the band, passin' hey hey) Carnival, (Sin to sin, the vagabon, catch you, I chop off, the other one hey) Carnival, (Mama, look at the band, look at the band passin' hey, hey, hey) Carnival Yes It's a Carnival I'm talkin bout a Carnival Oh, let's get down and have a Carnival I want to have a Carnival Talkin 'bout a carnival Carnival We're gonna have a global Carnival Oh global global Carnival Gonna have a global Carnival Gonna have a global Carnival |
