Johnny's playroom

Is a bunker filled with sand

He's become a third world man



Smoky Sunday

He's been mobilized since dawn

Now he's crouching on the lawn

He's a third world man



Soon you'll throw down your disguise

We'll see behind those bright eyes

By and by

When the sidewalks are safe

For the little guys



I saw the fireworks

I believed that I was dreaming

Till the neighbours came out screaming

He's a third world man



[chorus]



When he's crying out

I just sing that Ghana Rondo

E'lera del terzo mondo

He's a third world man



[chorus
