Lyrics (needs improvement)
54 things, 54
Things to see and to explore
In My Africa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In My Africa, whoa, whoa, whoa
The continent of Africa is deep and long and wide
With 54 countries to keep my song diversified
There`s rhythmic beats, new things to eat, and places you can go
And every day a different way that you can say hello
For instance meeng-gah-bou is howdy-do when visiting in Ghana
Dumela ma is how you say "Hello" inside Botswana
The Muslims greet the folks they meet with Salaam-Alaikum
In Gambia, Morocco and Sudan`s hometown cartoon
In My Africa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In My Africa, see this when you go
Burundi`s got the deepest lake and then the highest peak
Jet set from Tanzania just next door to Mozambique
And carving through the continent there flows the mighty Nile
Pass Uganda, Eritrea and look out! A crocodile!
Namibia`s wild skeleton coast is littered with wrecked ships
And Cote d`lvoire has chocolate fields, I love my chocolate chips
Victoria Falls in Zambia, it makes a mighty sound
Zimbabwe shares the falls as well, there`s lots to go around
In My Africa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In My Africa, life is all a glow
In My Africa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In My Africa, there`s lots of food they grow
The Comoros has the Coelacanth, the prehistoric fish
In Congo, they eat Wamba stew, that stew`s my favorite dish
In Sao Tome and Principe, they like their food with spice
The fish in Mauritius is hot and delicious, it`s really very nice
Sahara in Algeria`s a hot and arid land
Vacation in the Seychelles and relax upon the sand
The Madagascar aye-aye taps on trees to find its lunch
If you like rice then you`ll love Mauritania -- they munch rice a bunch
Farmers out in Kenya, they raise cattle, goats, and hens
And Burkina Faso`s called, "The Land of Upright Men"
The cotton from Benin is in the clothes we wear to school
There`s 40 words for camel in Somalia -- pretty cool!
Hey!
Bembeya Jazz comes from Guinea
Baobab trees are stout, not skinny
Ethiopians eat teff not pota-ter
Equatorial Guinea`s quite near the Equator
In South Africa, two peace prize winners
In Togo, they eat fufu for dinner
Senegal`s got a pink lake, Mali`s got the blue man
The folks in Nigeria spice food with cumin They do.
It makes a tasty stew!
54 things 54
Things to see and to explore
In My Africa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In My Africa, whoa, whoa, whoa
The world`s biggest frog is found inside of Cameroon
In Chad the long fish yawn and wake up when it rains in June
Gorillas in Rwanda have a hooting sort of speech
Go to Gabon to see an elephant walk on the beach
Angola`s full of dino bones; museum in the ground
Libya`s got those Roman ruins -- the coolest ruins around
And Egypt has the pyramids, the Sphinx, and King Tut`s tomb
Malawi`s got a town called Livingstonia, I presume
In My Africa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In My Africa, joy and beauty flow
Tunisia`s known for a gorgeous gate and Swaziland makes glass
From old recycled bottles that the boys and girls amass
Lesotho folks don`t go outside without their fancy hats
The artists in Sierra Leone weave really pretty mats
The tunes they play in Niger, hey! They`re vital and alive
The hip co of Liberia that style`s gonna thrive
Cape Verde`s got morna -- Man, I dig that swinging beat
Guinea-Bissau goombay just makes me want to stomp my feet
In My Africa, whoa, whoa, whoa
In My Africa, it`s almost time to go
My Africa`s an ageless land, I`m glad that you could see
Its continent`s so full of life, you`re all my family
And now we leave this loving place, its heartfelt family ties
A warm embrace, a smiling face to bid a sweet goodbye
To my Africa,
Djibouti, hooray!
To my Africa,
Somalia!
Magic Africa,
in the C.A.R.
Lovely Africa,
D.R.C.
Magic Africa,
Western Sahara
In my Africa
