Sam lives in New York
He works on the banks of the Hudson river
Jean Paul lives in Paris
In a flat near the Eiffel Tower

Yem lives in Cambodia
In the capital city Phnom Penh
Sarah lives in London
She likes to listen to the chimes of Big Ben

So many cities in one small world

People live in South America, in Bogota
People live in Australia, in Canberra
In Europe and Asia and Africa
Rome, Beijing and Nairobi
Paris, Calcutta and Tripoli

Natasha lives in Moscow
She walks past the Kremlin in the winter snow
Haji lives in Cairo
The home of the Sphinx, the land of the Pharoahs

So many cities in one small world

People live in South America, in Bogota
People live in Australia, in Canberra
In Europe and Asia and Africa
Rome, Beijing and Nairobi
Paris, Calcutta and Tripoli
