The African Convention Is gonna take place in the nation There'll be delegations From one and all African stations We're sending invitations To people of African vibrations Open up all relations Come on and hear our syncopation Every organization Musicians and politicians Peasants and high society From the country and the city Come on and shake off your frustrations There's gonna be some heavy libation We're gonna dance the blues away We're gonna stop paying dues this day Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-madigo, haunza, fulani Beat on the tom-tom Beat me from the congo We'll be making sweet harmony Well, number one on the agenda is music Sing your song, you mighty Zulu Number two on the agenda is welfare Be-be-be-be-be-be-be-bop in Dixieland Number three on the agenda is dancing Shake your body for mama, mama Well, number four on the agenda is loving Open up all relations Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention The African Convention The African Convention Do-do-do-do-do-do the reggae, Jamaica mama Do-do-do-do-do-do the reggae, Jamaica mama Do-do-do-do-do-do the reggae, Jamaica mama Do-do-do-do-do-do the reggae, Jamaica mama Do-do-do-do-do-do the reggae, Jamaica mama Jah, me talk dem slow Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention Talk about the African, the African Convention
