Dum-da-da-de-ya, dum-dum-da
Dum-da-da-de-ya-da
Dum-da-da-de-ya, dum-dum-da
Dum-da-da-de-ya-da
Oh, Swahili papa
'Cause him my zoom-baba papa-da
Oh, Swahili papa
'Cause him my zoom-baba
Oh, Swahili papa
'Cause him my zoom-baba papa-da
Oh, Swahili papa
'Cause him my zoom-baba
Dum-da-da-de-ya, dum-dum-da
Dum-da-da-de-ya-da
Whoops, there goes my husband
Beating on his tom-tom
He's sending her sweet nothings
While I just cook a stew
Little does she know
I got sixteen wives already
And little does he know
I got sixteen husbands, too
Oh, Swahili papa
'Cause him my zoom-baba papa-da
Oh, Swahili papa
'Cause him my zoom-baba
Dum-da-da-de-ya, dum-dum-da
Dum-da-da-de-ya-da
Strutting like a lion
While I just do his housekeeping
I will up and leave him
Before it gets too late
What am I to do then
With twenty-seven children?
I got a big surprise for you
Number twenty-eight
Oh, Swahili papa
'Cause him my zoom-baba papa-da
Oh, Swahili papa
'Cause him my zoom-baba
'Cause him my zoom-baba
'Cause him my zoom-baba
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no-no
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no-no
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no, no-no
