I went all the way to Africa
In a dream one night
I crossed over the ocean
In a slow, smooth jump
And landed in Africa
Long-ago Africa.

I love a lot of things, a whole lot of things
Like My cousin comes to visit and you know he's from the South
'Cause every word he says just kind of slides out of his mouth
I like the way he whistles and I like the way he walks
But honey, let me tell you that I LOVE the way he talks
