Lyrics

Now, I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Let me say it now
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Ground, she’s movin’ under me
Tidal waves out on the sea
Sulphur smoke up in the sky
I think some people in this crowd got high (I know)
Let me hear you, now

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
when the volcano blow
Let me hear you now
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
when the volcano blow

My girl quickly says to me
“Jimmy you better watch your feet”
That lava comes down soft and hot
“You better lava me now or lava me not”

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Let me hear you now
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

No time to count what I’m worth (That’s Uncle Warren)
Cause I just left the planet Earth
Where I go I hope there’s rum
Not to worry mon soon come

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow
Let me hear you now
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

But I don’t want to land in New York City
I don’t want to land in Mexico
I don’t want to land on no Three Mile Island
I don’t want to see my skin a-glow

Don’t want to land in Comanche Sky Park
or in Nashville, Tennessee
I don’t want to land in no San Juan airport
The customs they will hassle me

Don’t want to land no San Diego
Don’t want to land in no Buzzards Bay
I want to land in ol’ Cincinnati
Put me down where this all began
