Africa Unite

From the “jungles” of Soweto To the “lakes” of Kalahari Come! Let us adopt grey children Call them Mogadishu or Benghazi. Donate your second hand underwear To the west Stand up! Let’s go Attack undemocratic countries Beyond the Mediterranean Let us go monitor Their elections and Determine who wins or just Declare rebels the rightful Leaders of a country. Let us go buy some humans From across the Atlantic, Chain them and make them Work on our plantations. If not, let’s go buy land in the isles Start up banks in that land And make the Afro world currency Let us hold Charity walks for sick Hollywood stars Along the streets of New York Also rear goats as Pets And hold tomato fights at Buckingham palace.
