## Lyrics

[Spoken Word: Kurt Waldheim]

We step out of our solar system into the universe

Seeking only peace and friendship

To teach if we are called upon

To be taught if we are fortunate

We know full well that our planet and all its inhabitants–

[Spoken Word: Robert B. Edmonds]

I should like to extend the greetings

Of the government and people

To the extra-terrestrial inhabitants

[Spoken Word: [?] & *Jimmy Osmond*]

(*Wherever you go, Hugo, we go too*)

Yes, Maureen has circled him

[Spoken Word: Nick Sagan & *Jimmy Osmond*]

(*Wherever you go, Hugo, we're with you*)

Hello from the children of planet Earth

[Spoken Word: Debby Grossvogel & *Jimmy Osmond*]

(*Wherever you go, Hugo, we go too*)

Tanti auguri e saluti

[Spoken Word: Fred Dube & *Jimmy Osmond*]

[Refrain: Jimmy Osmond]

Wherever you go, Hugo, we go too

Wherever you go, Hugo, we're with you

Wherever you go, Hugo, we go too

Wherever you go, Hugo, we're with you

Wherever you go, Hugo, we go too

Wherever you go, Hugo, we're with–

[Chorus: CLYPSO & *Jimmy Osmond*]

We go, we go wherever you may go

We go, we go wherever you may go

(*We'll save your soul*

*We'll save your soul*)

[Sample: Sergio Mendes & *Jimmy Osmond*]

Vem Magalenha rojão (*We'll save your soul*)

Traz a lenha pro fogão

We go, we go

We go, we go wherever you may go

(*Wherever you go*)

[Verse 2: Neneh Cherry]

So much time and so much conflict

So much stress and so much fighting

So much hate and so much change

Too much war is all so frightening

On the radio, we can love

(On the radio, we can love)

[Refrain: Jimmy Osmond & *Neneh Cherry*]

Hugo, we go, too

Wherever you go, Hugo, we're with you

(*Wherever you go*)

Wherever you go, Hugo, we go too

(*You go, we're with you*)

Wherever you go, Hugo, we're with–

**We'll save your–**)

[Sample: Sergio Mendes, *Neneh Cherry* & **CLYPSO**]

Vem fazer armação

Vem fazer armação

(*You go, we're with you*)

[Verse 3: CLYPSO]

We, we-we-we-we

Don't want to fall

Or build the wall

Under the fall

Like clouds of rain

We chase the rain

Don't fly away

We'll make our way

[Verse 4: Neneh Cherry]

Words of love, too constipated

Everyone's so agitated

Thoughts of violence, celebrated

Media hype, calibrated

All the proof, fabricated

Politicians, calculated

In the towers, insulated

Drug consumption, regulated

They got the power, pay by the hour

Make the folks cower, they can devour

Hit you with the bass, right in the place

Smack in the face that you can embrace

One, two, three, four, open up those doors

On the dance floor, that's where you get yours

[Outro: Neneh Cherry]

The whole damn world's incinerated
