[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Lookin' at the sky, starry-eyed
Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed
Cryin' in the night, teary-eyed
[Chorus]
Don't you know that it's true
That for me, and for you
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me, and for you
It's a ghetto
[Scatting]
[Refrain]
It's a ghetto, it's a ghetto
It is a ghetto, it is a ghetto
It is a ghetto
[Scatting]
[Chorus]
Don't you know that it's true
That for me, and for you
The world is a ghetto
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is true
That for me, that for me, and for you, and for you
The world is a ghetto, ghetto
[Scatting]
[Outro]
Ghetto, it's a ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto
[Scatting]
Don't you know that this world is a ghetto
Yes, it is
[Verse 1]
Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Lookin' at the sky, starry-eyed
Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed
Cryin' in the night, teary-eyed
[Chorus]
Don't you know that it's true
That for me, and for you
The world is a ghetto
Don't you know that it's true
That for me, and for you
It's a ghetto
[Scatting]
[Refrain]
It's a ghetto, it's a ghetto
It is a ghetto, it is a ghetto
It is a ghetto
[Scatting]
[Chorus]
Don't you know that it's true
That for me, and for you
The world is a ghetto
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is true
That for me, that for me, and for you, and for you
The world is a ghetto, ghetto
[Scatting]
[Outro]
Ghetto, it's a ghetto
Ghetto, ghetto
[Scatting]
Don't you know that this world is a ghetto
Yes, it is
