Here comes the doo doo, flying up the street

Running like the fire burning on his feet

Casting his eye left to the right

Looking for a place he can duck out of sight



Here come the goomba goomba, rumbling up the road

Looking for somebody to fill up the load

A big fat cat he had, get off the bag

Scooping up the striker, lest given him a whack



Come on boy, jump inside

Come on, boy, we gonna take you for a ride

It's an excursion, where you don't have to pay

At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay



(Kwela, kwela)

You better listen to the man

(Kwela, kwela)

Everybody jump in the van



(Kwela-la, kwela-la, oh, kwela-la)

You better listen to the man

(And we're shouting kwela-la, kwela-la)

Everybody jump in the van



Now, doo doo, he doin', doin' pretty well

He got a private room at the the Blue Hotel

Everyday he gets a complimentary meal

Maybe check out soon if can make a deal



He wanna play music out on the street

I'm sure you got your Nike's tight on your feet

Better make sure that you stay outta sight

For the Chakalas when he got a big appetite



Come on boy, jump inside

Come on, boy, we gotta take you for a ride

It's an excursion where you don't have to pay

At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay



(Kwela, kwela)

You better listen to the man

(Kwela, Kwela)

Everybody jump in the van



(Kwela-la, kwela-la, oh, kwela-la)

You better listen to the man

(Keep on shouting kwela-la, kwela-la)

Everybody jump in the van



Come on boy, jump inside

Come on, boy, we gonna take you for a ride

It's an excursion where you don't have to pay

At the end of the line you'll find a place to stay



(Kwela, kwela)

You better listen to the man

(Kwela, kwela)

Everybody jump in the van



I said, you better, you better

(Kwela-la, kwela-la, oh, kwela-la)

You better listen to the man

(Keep on shouting kwela-la, kwela-la)

Everybody, everybody, everybody jump in the van



I said, hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo

(Kwela, kwela)

You better listen to the man

Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo

(Kwela, kwela)

Everybody jump in the van



I said, hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo

(Kwela-la, kwela-la, oh, kwela-la)

You better listen to the man

(Keep on shouting, kwela-la, kwela-la)

Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo

Everybody jump in the van



Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela

Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela

Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela

Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela



You gotta jump down, turn around, pick a pocket

Jump, turn, I wanna lay

You gotta jump and turn, pick a pocket

Jump, turn, I wanna lay



You gotta jump and turn, pick a pocket

Jump, turn, I wanna lay

You gotta jump and turn, pick a pocket

Jump, turn, I wanna lay



Pick it, I wanna lay

Pick it



Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo

You better listen to the man

Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo

Everybody jump in the van



I said, you better, you better

(Kwela, kwela)

You better listen to the man

Everybody, everybody

(Kwela, kwela)

Everybody jump in the van



I said, hey doo doo, hey, doo doo

(Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela)

You better listen to the man

Hey, doo doo, hey, doo doo

(Kwe-kwe-kwela, kiwela kwela)

Everybody jump in the van
