Lyrics & Music: John Oates



My Baby went to Africa

With the dirty lens photographer

My Baby stayin' in jungle land

With a U S body and a real light tan

My Baby went to Africa

With a make-up man and his love-sick lover

She get a couple o' grand and a two-piece suit

Let the folks back home see the native beauty

My Baby went to Africa

Gotta pack my bags and get to her

Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones
