She walks around slowly like a lion
Some kind of animal
Beauty's the beast walking through the jungle
The world is at her feet

She passes by, not a word is spoken
Man, she's got these eyes
With just a look
Animal instinct takes over your higher mind

The body's weak, the will is weaker
You think I'm crazy, mister, you ain't seen her

She's an African queen
Your most primitive dream
Close your eyes and repeat
Beauty's only skin deep
(African queen goes round and round)

She loves to dance when the spirit moves her
She moves like no one else
She makes you laugh, get's you thinking crazy
'Till you don't know yourself

Go one jump in, the water's waiting
Now you've been warned, so boy don't say you ain't been

She's an African queen
Your most primitive dream
Close your eyes and repeat
Beauty's only skin deep
(African queen goes round and round)

Never says nothing, just comes around
Stealing your heart without a sound
Oh, she comes like a thief in the night
And she means to steal you blind

Call off the war, it's getting stronger
Don't try to fly
After a while you'd be getting weaker
You think I'm crazy, mister, you ain't seen her

She's an African queen
Your most primitive dream
Close your eyes and repeat
Beauty's only skin deep
(African queen goes round and round)

She's an African queen
Your most primitive dream
Close your eyes and repeat
Beauty's only skin deep
(African queen goes round and round)

She's an African queen
She's an African queen
She's an African queen
