MAYDAY
2003
3 HEY BOYS, GIRLS
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
