Africa (Remix 2022) Lyrics

Are you off to Africa

Be sure to have your shots Don't forget your bathing suit

The beaches will be hot

Or your camera and your flash

You'll take pictures everywhere

And your toothpaste and your teeth

If you'll be eating there If you'll be eating there

The Africans, the Africans They need our missionaries

They have too many babies And too few dignitaries

They always dress for parties They wear flower pots for hats

And the men have many wives But they fight like dogs and cats

Yes, they fight like dogs and cats

And we're hoping that someday

They'll be civilized as we are

Then they'll have their own computers

And TVs and PVRs And they'll learn to live in peace

Like the Western countries do Since we learned to love each other

At the end of World War II At the end of World War II

In Africa, I've heard it said There are too many wars

All those tribes, they fight each other No one seems to know what for

That's the trouble with those Africans You know, they watch too much TV

They've been watching Wheel of Fortune Now they want democracy

Yeah, they want democracy Do you read the news on Africa

It all looks pretty grim A government collapses

The army marches in The Muslims will not like you

So be sure to have a gun When they stone the U.S. embassy

And the helicopters come And the helicopters come

And the helicopters come And the helicopters come
