A Big, Big World:

You and I, sailed around the world, In a big balloon, with a couple of squirrels.

And a guy named Phil, who you fell into, a steamy romance, what was I supposed to do.

So I threw you out, and I ate the Squirrels, and I sailed away, It's a Big, World.

So I sailed on down to the south of France.

Where I met Giselle, who just loved to dance.

The tango on that French TV, that I'd watch from my Balloon and go, we, we, we.

O' my pretty Giselle. Would you tango away with me? She said ......

"No Monsieur, I only tango on TV...... It's a Big, Big World.

So I headed down Israel way, but they were bombing the beaches of Beirut So I be-bop to Bombay.

Where I met Sha-cal Aqua-na-me who had a copy of the Karma Sutra

She wanted to practice it with me. So we practiced all night and we practiced all day

Then one day she took her book and she went away. .. It's a Big, Big World.

After that I headed home. I put the balloon in the garage now I live here all alone.

With a dog and a cat and a couple of Squirrels, and I dream about my travels throughout the world.

And from sea to shining sea, it's all so plain to me, most people do there traveling on TV.

It A Big, Big World.
