NAJWA (NAJWA NIMRI)

Elephants strayed far
from their herds

Leathery skinned
leathery skinned
leathery skinned

Their swinging trunks
and ears of felt
down on the veldt

A moonbeam stole
along each tusk
and then i sang to the boys

hey boys, hey boys, hey boys
hey boys, hey boys, hey boys

branches made of ivory
that seems to fly

Leathery skinned
leathery skinned
leathery skinned

Their swinging trunks
and ears of felt
down on the veldt

A moonbeam stole
along each tusk
and then i sang to the girls

Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls
hey girls, hey girls, hey girls

Rhythm time away
rhythm time away

Branches side, branches
side lining my face
branches side, branches side
lining my face

In Africa once a black woman,
a black man
in África once a black woman,
a black man

Hunters at home
they curl up the bare

Soles of their feet
while they re singing

Massacre songs
with all this little sounds, baby

Branches side, branches side
lining my face
branches side, branches side
lining my face
branches side, branches side
lining my face

Hey boys, hey boys, hey boys
hey boys, hey boys, hey boys
Hey girls, hey girls, hey girls
hey girls, hey girls, hey girls

Branches side, branches side
lining my face
branches side, branches side
lining my face
