(It’s a) Big World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Looking over Hong Kong Harbour Throw a shrimp in yellow wine Eat it when it ceases moving Just before is fine too There's an ancient Chinese saying Always seems to slip my mind Does it really die with honour? Does it really matter? [Chorus] It's a big world It's a big world So much to see [Verse 2] Sitting on a beach in Bali Tried to reach and grab a cloud Looked so much like cotton candy And I'm feeling God-like Could it be just what I'm eating? Only mushrooms after all And with juice of avocado I should live forever [Chorus] It's a big world It's a big world So much to do [Verse 3] Sitting on the floor in Kyoto Marvel at the latest catch Eat it as soon as you are able Quick before they cook it There's an eyeball staring at me And I know I've met my match Do I eat or am I eaten? It's a new adventure [Chorus] It's a big world So much to do It's a big world So much to see [Verse 4] From the Leningradsky Prospekt On the road to Mandalay There's a new intoxication Hits you just as you're leaving Café sur les Champs-Elysées Baklava in Istanbul Smoke a pipe in Casablanca Question all you believe in [Chorus] It's a big world So much to see It's a big world So much to do And plenty of room for me and you
