Johnny Clegg Savuka Gumbagumba Jive Lyrics

Gumbagumba Jive Lyrics

Wo liyeza - wo tomorrow



Wo liyeza - it's coming down







You've got to rol with the punches and change with the times



Don't let today forget yesterday's smiles



Undermeath all some things never die



We've got to listen to the rhythm, keep moving you and I



Last time when we said hello



We spoke about these things



We listened to the radio



And heard the Gumba man sing



He said: "You've got to keep alive, don't get left behind



The Gumba Jive will take you to a better side"







CHORUS:



And so we'll dance the Gumbagumba Jive again, oh yea, one more time,



"You've got to keep alive - Gumbagumba!



Jive! Jive! You've got to move to keep alive,



You don't know where you might



Lay your head tonight -O-O-O-"







Now the days are hard and the nights are as lonely



I never see you, you never come around, you never phone me



So I listen to the rhythm of the Gumbagumba man



So I listen to the rhythm of the Gumbagumba man



Ngijayiva njengenkalakala nginikinik' ikhanda nje



I've got to keep alive, I won't get left behind



Gumba Jive will take me to a better side







CHORUS
