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)
