Time To Get a Move On
Oh, to move to Ethiopia
Or maybe Eritrea
And if they hadn't changed the name
I'd move to North Rhodesia
There's a bit of heaven in Pakistan
Or the balmy life in Turkmenistan
But why move there when calls to me
Paradise on Earth in Afghanistan
Yet I don't really want to move so far
I can dodge the bullets in Salvador
The gangs in Mexico or Venezuela
And I've simply got to check out Cuba
Of course, there's the Arab world, so friendly
Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and UAE
Then again, I'm both Jewish and Israeli
So none of them can tolerate me
Which leaves our good friends Russia
China and North Korea
Come to think of it though
I've a better idea
I think that I will choose to stay
Life's not all that bad in the USA
