Here comes the doo doo, flying up the street
|
Running like the fire burning on his feet
|
Casting his eye left to the right
|
Looking for a place he can duck out of sight
|
|
Here come the goomba goomba, rumbling up the road
|
Looking for somebody to fill up the load
|
A big fat cat he had, get off the bag
|
Scooping up the striker, lest given him a whack
|
|
Come on boy, jump inside
|
Come on, boy, we gonna take you for a ride
|
It's an excursion, where you don't have to pay
|
At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay
|
|
(Kwela, kwela)
|
You better listen to the man
|
(Kwela, kwela)
|
Everybody jump in the van
|
|
(Kwela-la, kwela-la, oh, kwela-la)
|
You better listen to the man
|
(And we're shouting kwela-la, kwela-la)
|
Everybody jump in the van
|
|
Now, doo doo, he doin', doin' pretty well
|
He got a private room at the the Blue Hotel
|
Everyday he gets a complimentary meal
|
Maybe check out soon if can make a deal
|
|
He wanna play music out on the street
|
I'm sure you got your Nike's tight on your feet
|
Better make sure that you stay outta sight
|
For the Chakalas when he got a big appetite
|
|
Come on boy, jump inside
|
Come on, boy, we gotta take you for a ride
|
It's an excursion where you don't have to pay
|
At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay
