"Funafuti, Tuvalu"
[Kent]
Fly me to/ Funafuti, Tuvalu/ Whole country will be/ underwater soon/ Tiny government gone overseas/ to bug the big bureaucracies/ about the new wave/ about how to save/ Funafuti, Tuvalu
Tuvalu, Tuvalu/ Funafuti, Tuvalu/ Tuvalu, Tuvalu/ Funafuti, Tuvalu/ If you can spare a prayer or two/ It's a miracle they need there, they do/ in Funafuti/ Funafuti, Tuvalu...
Fly me to/ Funafuti, Tuvalu/ Whole country will be/sunk like Atlantis soon/ Send the newsmen to ask "How does it feel...?"/ "sur la mer" is so surreal/ Just a submerged steeple/ some boat people/ Funafuti, Tuvalu
Tuvalu, Tuvalu/ Funafuti, Tuvalu/ Tuvalu, Tuvalu/ Funafuti, Tuvalu/ If you can spare a prayer or two/ It's a miracle they need there, they do/ in Funafuti/ Funafuti, Tuvalu...
And we'll sing/ Husbands and wives/ Little children lost their lives/ Ooh!/ It was sad when the waters swallowed/ Funafuti, Tuvalu/ Uncles and aunts/ Giant agencies lost their pants/ Ooh!/ It was sad/ So sad/ when Neptune nabbed/ Funafuti, Tuvalu!
Tuvalu, Tuvalu/ Funafuti, Tuvalu/ Tuvalu, Tuvalu/ Funafuti, Tuvalu/ If you can spare a prayer or two/ It's a miracle they need there, they do/ in Funafuti/ Funafuti, Tuvalu...
