D                      G
You know this language that we speak
        A7                 D
Is part German, part Latin and part Greek
                                             G
With some Celtic and Arabic and Scandanavian all in the
 heap
A7                  D
Well amended by the people in the streets
G                   D            A7                  
Choctaw gave us the word 'okay'; vamoose is a word 
   D
from Mexico way
G                    D                A7          
And all of this is a hint, I suspect, of what comes 
  D
next

[Chorus]
                  G     A
I think that this whole world
D              A7         D
Soon, mama, my whole wide world
               G     A
Soon, mama, my whole world
D             A7        D
Soon gonna be get mixed up

[Verse 2]
D                      G
I like Polish sausage, I like Spanish rice
A7           D
Pizza pie is also nice
                        G
Corn and beans from the Indians here
A7                  D
Washed down by some German beer
G                       D               A7       
Marco Polo travelled by camel and pony, brought to 
            D
Italy the first macaroni
G              D                      A7             
And you and I, as well as we're able, put it all on 
   D
the table

[Chorus]
                  G     A
I think that this whole world
D              A7         D
Soon, mama, my whole wide world
               G     A
Soon, mama, my whole world
D             A7        D
Soon gonna be get mixed up

[Verse 3]
                        G
There were no redheaded Irishmen
A7                        D
Before the vikings landed in Ireland
                    G
How many Romans had dark curly hair
A7                              D
Before they brought slaves from Africa?
G                      D             A7              
No race on Earth is completely pure, nor is anyone's 
         D
mind and that's for sure
G                         D               A7      D
The winds mix the dust of every land, and so will man

[Chorus]
                  G     A
I think that this whole world
D              A7         D
Soon, mama, my whole wide world
               G     A
Soon, mama, my whole world
D             A7        D
Soon gonna be get mixed up

[Verse 4]
                             G
Oh this doesn't mean we will all be the same
A7                         D
We'll have different faces and different names
                         G
Long live many different kinds of races
A7                              D
And difference of opinion, that makes horse races
G                 D                          A7   
Just remember the rule about rules, brother; what's 
                    D
right with one is wrong with another
G                   D                A7        D
And take a tip from la belle France: vive la difference

[Chorus]
                  G     A
I think that this whole world
D              A7         D
Soon, mama, my whole wide world
               G     A
Soon, mama, my whole world
D             A7        D
Soon gonna be get mixed up

[Outro]
                  G     A
I think that this whole world
D              A7         D
Soon, mama, my whole wide world
               G     A
Soon, mama, my whole world
D             A7        D
Soon gonna be get mixed up
