The Negro's dance
Calling our sleeping heroes and sojourners to come home for us to build a great African empire!

Strumming near de Mississippi
Where de waves have given some chords
Jamming near de Nile Where de fishes
Had already made demma dance
Up, up Africa! It’s time to dance!
Now you da love ma rhythm
Le him nod nod his head
A black man song― a gentle twist
You da love de chords
Le him tap tap his lap
A black man song ―a mellifluous jazz.
Tell tell Mugabe I got a song,
A song for him, a song for us
A song of freedom.
Wake wake Mandela
Le him know we mocking apartheid
A song for us, a song for his people.
Singing loud beyond the ocean;
“Sojourners come home; Africa is got a song
Don’t be late Coz soon de song na fade”
Now who da love ma song
Le him shake, shake his boom,
Babe I got your hands, Step step
Twist twist round in turns and turn.
Dem men with long trousers
Fold ya trousers and unfold ya utmost joy
Get the maid,
And with ma song get her paid,
I got this song, a song for my people.
