Skokiaan (South African Song) - Louis Armstrong, Sy Oliver & His Orchestra

Oh, Far away in Africa

Happy happy Africa

They sing a-bing-a-bang-a-bingo

They have a ball and really go

Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan

Oh, Take a trip to Africa

Take any ship to Africa

Come on along and learn the lingo

Inside a jungle bungalow

Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan

(Bridge:)

Hot drums are drummin', the

Hot strings are strummin', and

Warm lips are blissful, they’re

Kissful of Skokiaan

Oh, When you go to Africa

Happy, happy, Africa

You live along like a king-o

Right in the jungle *all alone?

on the low ?*

(Hokey-Skoki) Skoki-oki-aan

(Okey-Dokey) Anybody can

(Skoki-Skoki) Man, oh man, oh man

You sing a-bing-a-bang-a-bingo

In hokey-pokey Skokiaan

Skoi-aa-aa-aa--ann

Oh, Far away in Africa

Happy, happy Africa

They sing a-bing-a-bang-a-bingo

They have a ball and really go, go, go

Take a trip to Africa

Take any ship to Africa

Come on along and learn the lingo

Inside a jungle bungalow

Repeat Bridge

Oh, when you go to Africa

Happy, happy Africa

You live along like a king-o

Right in a jungle bungalo

Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan

Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan, Skokiaan

(Ohhhh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh)

(fades out)
