(It's a) Big World

[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
