Global Carnival - Harry Belafonte

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
