| Keep it cool, keep cool your mind
|
| Shift the beat, you’re one of kind
|
| Shake it up, beat on the beat
|
| Shake it up, the bababumba beat
|
| Stay out, stay out
|
| Shift the beat
|
| Sad in love
|
| Shift the beat
|
| Sad in love
|
| Ring the bell, roll down the street
|
| Tie me up into the city heat
|
| Keep it cool, keep cool your mind
|
| Shift the beat, you’re one of a kind
|
| Stay out
|
| Tied up
|
| Shift the beat
|
| Get together, beat after beat
|
| Congas calling in the summer night heat
|
| Just a laugh, a little smile
|
| You’ll see me cruising up the Nile
|
| Still in New York with the African queen
|
| With the African queen into the city heat
|
| It’s the African queen who got the summer night crown
|
| It’s the African queen, the hottest lady in town
|
| It’s the African queen who keeps me on my feet
|
| It’s the African queen, the bababumba beat
|
| Take the beat, take the fight
|
| Take me beat into the ring tonight
|
| Shake it up, beat on the beat
|
| Shake it up, the bababumba beat
|
| Take my heart and hold me tight
|
| Forever, forever |
