A Go Go Lyrics - John Scofield

World service bulletin from the nightshift D.J. 

To all wavebands on earth 

Reconnoitre on the killahertz 

This tune is going out to Marconi 

To all corners of the globe 

There ain't no hut in the Serengeti 

Where my wavelengths do not probe 

If a rocket went to Saturn 

We sure hope a D.J. is on board 

For some anti-gravity mixing 

With two dub plates of U-Roy 

Throwdown Stray Cat strut in Bulawayo, hey, Bulawayo 

Buddy Rich in Burundi 

Quadrophenia in Armenia 

Armenia City In The Sky 

Big Youth booming in Djkarta 

Nina Simone over Sierra Leone 

Wild sound of Joujouka in Nevada, hey, Joujouka 

Everywhere, everywhere Bob's bringing it all back home 

Yeah, I let the boogie-woogie rumble 

In the back of Bangalore 

I get complaints from Bondi Beach 

What, no longboard surf hardcore 

Oh, send the rock steady out to Freddy 

Who juggles plates in Tsing Tao City 

'Cause tonight Bo Diddley's in Finland Station, hey, Bo Diddley 

Sun Ra's in Omaha 

The Skatalites in New York City, hey, Skatalites 

The Stooges rule over Habana 

The Bhundu Boys rock Acapulco, hey, hey Bhundu Boys 

Good hip hop in Islamabad 

Ali Farke Toure's in Oaxaca, hey, Farke Toure 

And Baaba Maal's all over Stalingrad 

Yeah, while some are waking, some are sleeping 

From Kamchatka to the Gabon 

Above the trade wind, wingtips beating 

We calling out for Ronnie and da-do Ron, Ron, Ron 

We call the Cumbria to tumble 

From the peak of the Himalayas 

We send the funk into the jungle 

To the last outpost of the bass player
