World service bulletin from the nightshift DJ
To all wavebands on earth
Reconnoitre on the kilahertz

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 DJ 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 Jakarta
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 Run, Run, Run

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
