Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once upon a time I made a lion roar He was sleeping in the sunbeams On the old zoo floor I had gone to see the park Where my papa used to play It's called Villa Borghese and it's on the way [Chorus] To east Africa [Verse 2] Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four Well I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor And the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say Here's a child who'll want the world to go his way [Chorus] Oh woah woah In east Africa Oh woah woah In east Africa Come sing it [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Suddenly for me The world turned upside down Far from my friends, the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me Came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy [Chorus] Oh woah woah Where is my east Africa [Verse 4] Well they said, they said, they said "The ones who know it all" They said from now on for you There will be no more standing tall So I took my parents hands, I lifted my head to say Well I'll just have to be a hero, there's ain't no other way! No other way [Chorus] Oh woah woah Back to east Africa Oh woah woah Back to east Africa Oh woah woah Back to east Africa Back to east Africa East Africa [Outro] I am going back to east Africa I am going back to east Africa Come with me I am going back Well I think I am going back[?] Come with me to east Africa
