Bwana Wanna Boogie

Bwana wanna boogie on safari. 
Bwana wanna porter fetch his gun.
Bwana wanna bag a bloody trophy. 
Bwana wanna kill it just for fun.
Bwana wanna rumble through the jungle. 
Bwana wanna rummage through the bush.
Bwana wanna buy a pagan baby. 
Bwana wanna snag himself some tush.

Bwana wanna colonize the tropics. 
Bwana wanna rule from pole to pole.
Bwana wanna civilize the heathen. 
Bwana wanna circumcise their soul.
Bwana wanna drink his gin and tonic. 
Bwana wanna party like a sport.
Bwana wanna play a little polo. 
Bwana wanna build a tennis court.

Bwana wanna condo in the suburbs. 
Bwana wanna manicure his lawn.
Bwana wanna customize his kitchen. 
Bwana wanna throw some burgers on.
Bwana wanna watch a game on Sunday. 
Bwana wanna drive an SUV.
Bwana wanna bear the white man’s burden. 
Bwana wanna live like you and me.

Yes, I believe he does, Michael. In fact, I'm wondering why he doesn't??? Interesting poem, fun to read.
