Zambesi 1954

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 24 Sep 2003

Zambesi, Zambesi, Zambesi
bam! (Sweet African)
Zambesi, Zambesi, Zambesi zam.

I never thought I'd have the luck
to fall in love while I was
bringing home a lion for the zoo
Zambesi baby, you're the love I'm thinking of,
I'll never meet another gal as sweet as you:

Without ever hardly tryin',
I can set a trap and catch a lion,
but I've always found it much more difficult
to catch a pretty girl like you.

All night long I sit and wonder,
if it's just some jungle spell I'm under,
when I kiss my sweet Zambesi baby Oh!
I can't believe it's true.

Zambesi, Zambesi, Zambesi
bam! (Sweet African)
Zambesi, Zambesi, Zambesi zam.

You give me such a big romantic appetite
because you're sweeter
than a mile of sugar cane,
Zambesi baby I just love to hold you tight,
you overpower me just like a hurricane:

Zambesi, Zambesi, Zambesi
bam! (Sweet African)
Zambesi, Zambesi, Life in Africa's fine
when I'm with that
sweet Zambesi baby of mine.
