You know this language that we speak,

Is part german , latin and part greek

Celtic and arabic all in a heap,

Well amended by the people in the street

The choctaw gave us the word "okay";

"vamose" is a word from mexico way.

And all of this is a hint i suspect of what comes next.



Chorus:

I think that this whole world

Soon mama my whole wide world

Soon mama my whole world

Soon gonna be get mixed up.

Soon mama my whole world

Soon mama my whole wide world

Soon mama my whole world

Soon gonna be get mixed up.



I like polish sausage, i like spanish rice,

And pizza pie is also nice

Corn and beans from the indians here

Washed down by german beer

Marco polo traveled by camel and pony,

He brought to italy, the first macaroni

And you and i as well we're able,

We put it all on the table



(chorus)



There were no red-headed irishmen

Before the vikings landed in ireland

How many romans had dark curly hair

Before they brought slaves from africa?

No race of man is completely pure,

Nor is anyone's mind, that's for sure

The winds mix the dust of every land,

And so will woman and man.



(chorus)



This doesn't mean we will all be the same,

We'll have different faces and different names

Long live many different kinds of races

It's a difference of opinion that makes horse races

Just remember the rule about rules, brother

What could be right for one could be wrong for the other

And take a tip from la belle france: "viva la difference!"



(chorus)
