Africa Lyrics

J. Oates

My baby went to Africa 
With the dirty lens photographer
My baby land in jungle land (aaah)
With a U S body and a real light tan
(With a U S body and a real light tan)
My baby went to Africa
My baby went to Africa
Sing it (uuuh uuuh)
Sing it (uuuh uuuh)

My baby went to Africa (hoo hoo)
With a make-up man and a love-sick lover (hoo hoo)
She get a couple o' grand and a two-piece suit (aaah)
Let the folks back home see the native beauty
(The folks back home see the native beauty)
My baby went to Africa
My baby went to Africa
My baby went to Africa
I packed my bags I gotta get to her
Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones
And the boys sing
(uuuh uuuh) Africa Africa
(uuuh uuuh)
And the girls sing
(uuuh uuuh uuuh uuuh)

My baby went to Africa
I packed my bags I gotta get to her
Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones
Sing (baby went to Africa) Africa Africa
(Baby went to Africa) Africa Africa
(Baby went to Africa) lions and tigers try to jump on her bones
(Baby went to Africa baby went to Africa baby went to Africa) go back home
to the native beauty
(Baby went to Africa baby went to Africa baby went to Africa) I'm on my way
(Baby went to Africa baby went to Africa)
