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
