Joe Strummer The Mescaleros Global A Go-go Lyrics

Global A Go-go Lyrics

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







Cos 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







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
