歌曲歌词
Once upon a time I made a lion roar
He was sleeping
in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor
I had gone to see the park
where my papa used to play
It's called called villa borghese
and it's on the way
To east africa
Down on Grand Comoro Island
where I grew past four
I could swim and fish
and snorkel on the ocean floor
And the wind laughed
and the wind laughed
through the trees as if to say
Here's a child who'll
want the world to go his way
In east africa in east africa
Suddenly for me the world
turned upside down
Far from my friends the lions
and the dolphins came this awful sound
Dark shadows
sounds of thunder raging over me
Came this monster called
'a-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy'
Where's my East Africa
Well they said they said they said
the ones who know it all
They said from now on for you
there will be no more standing tall
So i took my parents' hands
i lifted my head to say
I'll just have to be a hero
there's no other way
Back to East Africa
