Mr. Jambo (feat. Barry Bergen)

Hey there, Mr. Jambo, out there in the African sun

Do you ever get tired?

Hey there, Mr. Jambo, will you share with me the jambalaya living in your soul?

And then he told me

"Angikhulumi isiNgisi, unaye umhumushi? Yeka ukuklabalasa!"

Well, I couldn't speak his language, I couldn't even understand a word

But I knew the meaning was what I decided I had heard

He said, "The love you seek is in the valley of the soul

The love you seek, it's in the wisdom written on the ancient scrolls"

Hey there, Mr. Jambo, out there with the lions and bears

Do you ever get scared?

Hey there, Mr. Jambo, can the Serengeti swallow up the evils of this world?

And then he whispered

"Angikhulumi isiNgisi, unaye umhumushi? Yeka ukuklabalasa!"

Still couldn't speak his language, I couldn't even understand a word

But I knew the meaning was what I decided I had heard

He said, "The love you seek is in the valley of the soul

The love you seek, it's in the wisdom written on the ancient scrolls"

♫

The love you seek is in the valley of the soul

The love you seek, it's in the wisdom written on the ancient scrolls

The African wisdom, everybody say, "Hey"

In the valley, written on the ancient scrolls
