O Serengeti!
Burning giraffes flee the sun
Why dilly-dally?
.
I strum lays, yodel
At night the moon turns oyster
Bleu cheese veins cracker
.
Aphrodisiac
What the latest polls reveal
Dry thunder sky high
.
Kalimba and sax
Thumbs and fingers sing the blues
Think Repercussions
.
Big Mbuti smiles
O happy forest people
Tickling ivories
