Song Lyrics

Oh, Far away in Africa
Happy happy Africa
They sing a-bing-a-bang-a-bingo
They have a ball and really go
Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan

Oh, Take a trip to Africa
Take any ship to Africa
Come on along and learn the lingo
Inside a jungle bungalow
Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan

(Bridge:)
Hot drums are drummin', the
Hot strings are strummin', and
Warm lips are blissful, they're
Kissful of Skokiaan

Oh, When you go to Africa
Happy, happy, Africa
You live along like a king-o
Right in the jungle *all alone?on the low ?*

(Hokey-Skoki) Skoki-oki-aan
(Okey-Dokey) Anybody can
(Skoki-Skoki) Man, oh man, oh man
You sing a-bing-a-bang-a-bingo
In hokey-pokey Skokiaan
Skoi-aa-aa-aa--ann

Oh, Far away in Africa
Happy, happy Africa
They sing a-bing-a-bang-a-bingo
They have a ball and really go, go, go
Take a trip to Africa
Take any ship to Africa
Come on along and learn the lingo
Inside a jungle bungalow

Repeat Bridge
Oh, when you go to Africa
Happy, happy Africa
You live along like a king-o
Right in a jungle bungalo
Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan
Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan
(Ohhhh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh)

(fades out)
