Verse 1
Early in the morning
Birds start singing
This is life in Africa
Cocks start crowing
The winds start blowing
This is life in Africa
The sun starts rising
The day starts breaking
This is life in Africa

Chorus
Oh My Africa
You are so beautiful
Oh My Africa
You are so graceful
Oh My Africa
You are so nice

Verse 2
When the drums start beating
Then we start dancing
This is life in Africa
When you hear the beat shaking
Then you know the girls are working
This is life in Africa
And when it is raining
The children come out playing
This is life in Africa

Chorus
O My Africa
You are so beautiful
Oh My Africa
I am appealing to youth of Africa
Never never run away from our own culture
You are graceful
Never be like the vulture
Oh My Africa
You gotta know that Africa is so nice
Life, life in Africa, so nice, so so nice
Africa

Chorus
Oh My Africa
You are so beautiful
You will always be in my heart and in my mind
Oh My Africa
You are so graceful
Oh My Africa
You are so nice

Verse 3
When the morn is shining
And the fire is burning
Everyone has a story to tell
And they tell it well
Yes, yes, they tell it well
When the light start fading
There is a time for reminiscing
This is life in Africa
There is a time for relaxation and reflection
And meditation in Africa

Chorus
Oh My Africa
Say I'll give myself to you Africa
You are so beautiful
For you Africa
Oh my Africa
You are so graceful
Oh My Africa
You are so nice

Repeat Chorus

I am appealing to you the youth
Please don't turn your back on your culture
Never never be like the vulture who has nowhere to go
That is always on the road
Yes, all who looted from your booty Mama Africa
I tell you they shall pay
The Bible says they shall pay
I know that You are so nice
