Here comes the doo doo, flying up the street
Running like the fire burning on his feet
Casting his eye left to the right
Look for a place he can duck out of sight
Here come the goomba goomba, rumbling up the road
Look for somebody to fill up the load
Big fat cat he had, get off the bag
Scooping up the striker, lest given him a whack
Come on boy, jump inside
Come on, boy, we gonna take you for a ride
It's an excursion, where you don't have to pay
At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay
(Kwela, kwela)
You better listen to the man
(Kwela, kwela)
Everybody jump in the van
Kwela-la, kwela-la
You better listen to the man, keep shouting
Kwela-la, kwela-la
Everybody jump in the van
Now, doo doo, he doin', doin' pretty well
He got a private room at the the Blue Hotel
Everyday he gets a complimentary meal
Maybe check out soon if can make a deal
If you wanna play music out on the street
Be sure you got your Nike's tight on your feet
You better make sure that you stay outta sight
For the Chakalas when he got a big appetite
Come on boy, jump inside
Come on, boy, we gotta take you for a ride
It's an excursion where you don't have to pay
At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay
(Kwela, kwela)
You better listen to the man
(Kwela, Kwela)
Everybody jump in the van, I say
(Kwela-la, everybody, kwela-la, everybody)
You better listen to the man
(Keep on shouting kwela-la, everybody, kwela-la, everybody)
Everybody jump in the van, or get down
Come on boy, jump inside
Come on, boy, we gonna take you for a ride
It's an excursion where you don't have to pay
At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay
(Kwela, kwela)
You better listen to the man
(Kwela, kwela)
Everybody jump in the van, I say
Kwela-la, kwela you better, you better
You better listen to the man (Keep on shouting kwela-la, kwela-la)
Everybody jump in the van, I said
Hey doo doo, hey, doo doo (Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela)
You better listen to the man
Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo (Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela)
Everybody jump in the van, I said
(Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela)
(Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela)
(Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela)
