WHEN VAN RIEBEECK ARRIVED IN THIS COUNTRY
I THINK THE YEAR WAS SIXTEEN FIFTY TWO
HE WAVED TO HARRY AND HIS OUPA AND HIS ANTIE
HEY THEY SAID HOKAAI AND WHO THE HECK ARE YOU

IT WAS THE START OF A VERY BIG PROBLEM
FOREVER JAN AND HARRY BUMPING HEADS
UNTIL THEIR WIVES GOT SICK AND TIRED AND THEY TOLD THEM
MANNE GO TO NEW LANDS WATCH A RUGBY TEST

KOOR :
	GIVE US HOPE DIE BOKKE
HOPE DIE BOKKE
HOPE DIE BOKKE IN A RUGBY TEST
GIVE US HOPE DIE BOKKE
HOPE DIE BOKKE
BOKKE BOKKE YOU'RE THE BEST
