Global A Go-Go

World service bulletin from the nightshift D.J.
To all wavebands on earth, reconnoitre on the killahertz

This tune is going out to Marconi to all corners of the globe
There ain't no hut in the Serengeti where my wavelengths do not probe
If a rocket went to Saturn, we sure hope a D.J. is on board
For some anti-gravity mixing with two dub plates of U-Roy

Throwdown Stray Cat strut in Bulawayo - hey, Bulawayo
Buddy Rich in Burundi
Quadrophenia in Armenia
Armenia City In The Sky
Big Youth booming in Djkarta
Nina Simone over Sierra Leone
Wild sound of Joujouka in Nevada - hey, Joujouka
Everywhere, everywhere Bob's bringing it all back home

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 - hey, Bo Diddley
Sun Ra's in Omaha
The Skatalites in New York City - hey, Skatalites
The Stooges rule over Habana
The Bhundu Boys rock Acapulco - hey, hey Bhundu Boys
Good hip hop in Islamabad
Ali Farke Toure's in Oaxaca - hey, Farke Toure
And Baaba Maal's all over Stalingrad

Yeah, 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
Da-do Ron, Ron, Ron...

We call the Cumbria to tumble from the peak of the Himalayas
We send the funk into the jungle to the last outpost of the bass player
