As We Go

Green jungle, the eventual abode In which the specimen grows We swim and splash as we go Adorning your bodies with ornaments Protecting your borders with armaments We sing and dance as we go We sing and dance in the Congo Shifting your shape and the scenery Misuse and abuse of machinery We sing and dance as we go We sing and dance in the Congo Remove vegetation, clear the trees It all becomes part of our history We swing and prance as we go We swing and prance, we’re on show We sing and dance as we go We sing and dance in the Congo
