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

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

Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones
And the boys sing

And the girls sing
(uuuh uuuh uuuh uuuh)
