(It's a) Big World Lyrics
Looking over Hong Kong harbor
Throw a shrimp in yellow wine
Eat it when it ceases moving
Just before is fine tooThere's an ancient Chinese saying
Always seems to slip my mind
Does it really die with honor
Does it really matterIt's a big world
It's a big world, so much to seeSitting on a beach in Bali
Tried to reach and grab a cloud
Looked so much like cotton candy
And I'm feeling God-likeCould it be just what I'm eating
Only mushrooms after all
And with juice of avocado
I should live foreverIt's a big world
It's a big world, so much to doSitting on the floor in Kyoto
Marvel at the latest catch
Eat it soon as you are able
Quick before they cook itThere'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 adventureIt's a big world, so much to do
It's a big world, so much to seeFrom the Leningradsky Prospekt
On the road to Mandalay
There's a new intoxication
Hits you just as you're leavingCaf sur les Champs Elyses
Baklava in Istanbul
Smoke a pipe in Casablanca
Question all you believe inIt'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
