Harry Belafonte - Kwela (Listen To The Man) lyrics

Here comes the doo doo, flying up the street Running like the fire burning on his feet Casting his eye left to the right Looking for a place he can duck out of sight Here come the goomba goomba, rumbling up the road Looking for somebody to fill up the load A big fat cat he had, get off the bag Scooping up the striker, lest given him a whack Come on boy, jump inside Come on, boy, we gonna take you for a ride It's an excursion, where you don't have to pay At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay (Kwela, kwela) You better listen to the man (Kwela, kwela) Everybody jump in the van (Kwela-la, kwela-la, oh, kwela-la) You better listen to the man (And we're shouting kwela-la, kwela-la) Everybody jump in the van Now, doo doo, he doin', doin' pretty well He got a private room at the the Blue Hotel Everyday he gets a complimentary meal Maybe check out soon if can make a deal He wanna play music out on the street I'm sure you got your Nike's tight on your feet Better make sure that you stay outta sight For the Chakalas when he got a big appetite Come on boy, jump inside Come on, boy, we gotta take you for a ride It's an excursion where you don't have to pay At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay (Kwela, kwela) You better listen to the man (Kwela, Kwela) Everybody jump in the van (Kwela-la, kwela-la, oh, kwela-la) You better listen to the man (Keep on shouting kwela-la, kwela-la) Everybody jump in the van Come on boy, jump inside Come on, boy, we gonna take you for a ride It's an excursion where you don't have to pay At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay (Kwela, kwela) You better listen to the man (Kwela, kwela) Everybody jump in the van I said, you better, you better (Kwela-la, kwela-la, oh, kwela-la) You better listen to the man (Keep on shouting kwela-la, kwela-la) Everybody, everybody, everybody jump in the van I said, hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo (Kwela, kwela) You better listen to the man Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo (Kwela, kwela) Everybody jump in the van I said, hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo (Kwela-la, kwela-la, oh, kwela-la) You better listen to the man (Keep on shouting, kwela-la, kwela-la) Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo Everybody jump in the van Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela You gotta jump down, turn around, pick a pocket Jump, turn, I wanna lay You gotta jump and turn, pick a pocket Jump, turn, I wanna lay You gotta jump and turn, pick a pocket Jump, turn, I wanna lay You gotta jump and turn, pick a pocket Jump, turn, I wanna lay Pick it, I wanna lay Pick it Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo You better listen to the man Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo Everybody jump in the van I said, you better, you better (Kwela, kwela) You better listen to the man Everybody, everybody (Kwela, kwela) Everybody jump in the van I said, hey doo doo, hey, doo doo (Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela) You better listen to the man Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo (Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela) Everybody jump in the van
