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
|
It's a big world - so much to do
|
|
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
|
|
It's a big world - so much to see much
|
|
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
|
It's a big world - so much to do
|
It's a big world - so much to see
|
|
From the Leningradsky Prospekt
|
On the road to Mandalay
|
There's a new intoxication
|
Hits you just as you're leaving
|
Cafe sur Les Champs-Elysees
|
Baklava in Istanbul
|
Smoke a pipe in Casablanca
|
Question all you believe in
|
It's a big world - so much to do
|
It's a big world - so much to see
|
And plenty of room for me and you
|
