New Guinea Blues

Way down in Papua New Guinea
Lord, you oughta been there
Ooh, in Papua New Guinea
Lord, you oughta been there
Volcano blowing
Ashes everywhere
Ooh, Raobao town
Lord, is mostly blown away
Ooh, in Raobao town, Lordy
Everything is blown away
Ah, but there's so much music, Lordy, Lord
People smiling every day
New Guinea people
Don't have as much as you and me
So many people
Don't have as much as you and me
Lord, they got a way of living, mama
Sweet as it can be
And they play a kind of music, mama
Sweet as it can be
Don't you wonder if we haven't lost something we can't see
Don't let your television mess up your sense of empathy
