Kwela (Listen To The Man) |
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 |

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 |

Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo |
Everybody jump in the van |
