Kabaka Shaka, Shaka Shaka
Was called [He was] the king of warriors
Yes the father of warriors
Kabaka Shaka, Shaka Shaka
He fought to victory
Making history
And there sure is, is a story
About the man of whom we now sing
Even today it is told
He's remembered as a king
Yeah, he fought for freedom
Ever knowing he should become
Kabaka Shaka, Shaka Shaka
He was the greatest warrior
And the famous fighter
Kabaka Shaka, Shaka Shaka
His country's stronger rulеr
But devoted to her
Going straight on to glory
Giving thе people back their pride
Women today growing old
Still remember how he died, yeah
Fighting for freedom
Never stopping till he had won
Shaka, Shaka.....
Kabaka Shaka, Shaka Shaka
He was the greatest warrior
And the famous fighter
Kabaka Shaka, Shaka Shaka
His country's stronger ruler
But devoted to her
Kabaka Shaka, Shaka Shaka
Was called [He was] the king of warriors
Yes the father of warriors
Kabaka Shaka, Shaka Shaka
He fought to victory
Making history [Repeat and fade]

Little Mary Joe

Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
She was born on the wrong side of town
A young and pretty girl
And a lonely ghetto child
Growing up
Growing wild
Her Daddy was a rolling stone
A handsome man who had
A different woman in every town
He never settled down
Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
Before the man would rise at dawn
Her Mother would be gone
Working seven days a week
Just trying to make ends meet
She was down and out
No one to love her
Little Mary Jo
Like the father she never knew
Become a rolling stone
Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
Mary was a little lamb
Lost and all alone
Her Daddy was a rolling stone
And she followed
She was sure to follow him
Woo, woo, woo little Mary Jo
In the winter of her years
Still all alone
The love she needed so desperately
Was never meant to be
She learned her lesson hard but well
True love can't be found
By being a rolling stone
You got to have a home

Roots can be anywhere
Roots come from everywhere
Father teach your son now
Mother show your daughter how
That where the heart is home
Is there in this great universe we share
Roots can be anywhere
Roots come from everywhere
Now you have come from another land
And where you are you didn't plan
But love and happiness you've found
Your standing on the proper ground
Roots can be anywhere
Roots come from everywhere
The world is growing smaller fast
Today will soon be called the past
So find your roots
And if you can
Be wise enough to understand
Roots can be anywhere
Roots come from everywhere
Now that you've heard the story told
Spread is to the young and old
The truth was said and now it's known
The child is blessed whose found a home
Roots can be anywhere
Roots come from everywhere

Lady Jive

|
I've travelled round the world
Since I was just a girl
Known far and distant places
Guess it's just my fate
That I've seen love and hate
In different kinds of faces
Hey, Mister come closer
Remember me
We spent some time together
Down in New Orleans
They call me Lady Jive
But I forgot your name
Don't matter just the same
Just call me Lady Jive
Lady, Lady, Lady Jive
The queen of all the Bayou
So if you want to be a king
You just call on your Lady Jive
The lady that I am
Can get you in a jam
If you're not careful brother
So fast take care to roam
Before you start to roam
Looking for love in another
Hey, Mister come closer
Remember me
I taught you how to boogie
And get down with Le Chic
They call me Lady Jive
But I forgot your name
Don't matter just the same
Just call me Lady Jive
Lady, Lady, Lady Jive
The queen of all the Bayou
So if you want to be a king
You just call on your Lady Jive
