That tone of dogs:
Is the one that turns her!!!
Make her the legend of Africa
That made her the best of the best
That gives her the name "Mama Africa"
That made her think of tomorrow.
That tone of birds:
Made her tune on the radio
That made her say "I'm a Diva"
Made her say "I'm a weekend special"
That turns her to Brenda.
That tone of lions:
Made her the Lionel
Made her say "I'm African Madonna"
That made her sing "I'm Dangerous"
That made her the Drama Queen
That tone of music:
That made us proud
To say "I'm an African"
And made us walk free in that Island
And say "I'm proud of African music"
That tone of music, that says with small voices
Made me not take that plane to the U.S.A.
Made me stay in the R.S.A.
Made me forget about the past
Make me listen to music
That helps, that builds, that changes, that ragtime
Made me who am I today?
Is the one that turns her!!!
Make her the legend of Africa
That made her the best of the best
That gives her the name "Mama Africa"
That made her think of tomorrow.
That tone of birds:
Made her tune on the radio
That made her say "I'm a Diva"
Made her say "I'm a weekend special"
That turns her to Brenda.
That tone of lions:
Made her the Lionel
Made her say "I'm African Madonna"
That made her sing "I'm Dangerous"
That made her the Drama Queen
That tone of music:
That made us proud
To say "I'm an African"
And made us walk free in that Island
And say "I'm proud of African music"
That tone of music, that says with small voices
Made me not take that plane to the U.S.A.
Made me stay in the R.S.A.
Made me forget about the past
Make me listen to music
That helps, that builds, that changes, that ragtime
Made me who am I today?
