Small world


It's a small world, and you must agree
It's not a very big house, for a large family
People moving out or making home improvements
but the basic problem never seems to go away

It's a small world

It's common knowledge, satellite looks on
and a Russian man is sent to spy upon us
It's enough to make a man feel uncomfortable
Someone else's leader needs kill Pacific Atoll[1]

It's a small world

Oh, well there's only just enough to go `round
Wanna shout about it, shout about it
Small world, and it's getting smaller
There's no getting away from it all in a small world

Baby boom-town, and the population swells
There's a broken circuit no one tells the truth
Are we mammals with a future in this nutshell
When you're small it should be easier to pick things up

It's a small world

Oh, wanna hold it in my hand
Gonna roll it like a ball
Oh, we're a drop in the ocean
Gonna shout about it, shout about it

Small world, and it's getting smaller
There's no getting away from it all in a small world
Yes and it's a strange place for bringing up your children
When there's no guarantee that they'll have a future
In a small world

[1] Mururoa (sp?) Atoll, now suspected to be leaking radioactive elements
into the pacific, all thanks to the French Government.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
