Lyrics

Up all night Ooh za za Ooh staying up all night African jungle Big city street The only real difference is in The people you meet Up all night Ooh za za Ooh staying up all night It's an agreeable town It's neat and sedate Why even the muggers are off The streets by eight Up all night Ooh za za Ooh staying up all night Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so Joe Polite and well spoken Well heeded and well sane They know they're alive When they start to feel pain You're staying up all night Ooh za za Ooh staying up all night Up all night Ooh za za Ooh staying up all night Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so Joe Big city jungle African street The only real difference is in The people they meet _____________________________________________ *Written by Bob Geldof *From the album entitled "Mondo Bongo"
