However small
To help them live
Have a peaceful New Year

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

This record was recorded on the 25th of November 1984
It's now 8 a.m. on the morning of the 26th
We've been here 24 hours and I think it's time we went home
So, from me, Bob Geldof, and Midge
We'll say good morning to you all
And a million thanks to everyone on the record
Have a lovely Christmas
Bye
