Every night In Jungletown All the boogies in the street Radios turned up very loud Playin´ Dancing Queen
They love our music
This English girl from the North somewhere Is stayin´ with me at my place Drinkin´ up all my beer Talkin´ about the poor niggers all the time It´s a real disgrace, she says I tell her, Darling, don´t talk about things you don´t understand I tell her, Darling, don´t talk about something you don´t know anything about I tell her, Darling, if you don´t like it here go back to your own miserable country
It´s Christmas in Cape Town but it ain´t the same Oh, the boys on the beach are still blowin´ And the summer wind still kicks the clouds around
You know my little brother, babe Well, he works out at the diamond mine I drove him out there at five this mornin´ The niggers were waitin´ in a big long line You know those big old lunch pails they carry, man With a picture of Star Wars painted on the side They were starin´ at us real hard with their big ugly yellow eyes You could feel it You could feel it
It´s Christmas in Cape Town but it ain´t the same The stores are open all the time And little kids on skateboards cut in and out of the crowd And the Christmas lights still shine Myself, I don´t like to drink the way
I used to, man, you know It don´t seem to get me high And the beer don´t taste the way it ought to taste somehow And I don´t know why
Don´t talk to me about the planes Man, I´ve heard it Just take a look around What are we gonna do, blow up the whole damn country?
It´s Christmas in Cape Town It´s Christmas in Cape Town It´s Christmas in Cape Town
