World service bulletin from the nightshift D.J.
To all wavebands on earth
Reconnoitre on the killahertzThis 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-RoyThrowdown 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 homeYeah, 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 StalingradYeah, while some are waking, some are sleeping
From Kamchatka to the Gabon
Above the trade wind, wingtips beating
We calling out for Ronnie and da-do Ron, Ron, RonWe 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
