There's a tidal wave in Tonga
   There's a blizzard in Bombay
There's a whirlwind in Wyoming
   And a lockdown in LA
There's a power cut in Paris
   There's a panic in Peru...
But what the hell do I care
   When I'm lying here with you?

There's a flood in Famagusta
    There's a famine in Milan
There's an avalanche in Aspen
     And another in Japan
There's a deluge in New Dehli
     There's a drout in Timbuktu...
But what the hell do I care
   When I'm lying here with you?

There's a mutiny in Moscow
     There's a riot in Rangoon
There's a bloodbath in Djibouti
     And a coup in Cameroon
There's a meltdown in Malawi
     There's a massacre in Crewe...
But what the hell do I care
   When I'm lying here with you?
