Makeba Lyrics

Ooh wee, ooh
Ooh wee, ooh

Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you
Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you
Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you
Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you

I wanna hear your breath just next to my soul
I wanna feel oppressed without any rest
I wanna see you sing, I wanna see you fight
'Cause you are the real beauty of human rights

Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you
Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you

Nobody can beat the Mama Africa
You follow the beat that she's gonna give you
Only her smile can all make it go
The sufferation of a thousand more

Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you
Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you
Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you
Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you
Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you
Ooh wee, Makeba, Makeba ma che bella, can I get a ooh wee?
Makeba, makes my body dance for you

(Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella)
(Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella)
(Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella)
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee, Makeba ma che bella
Ooh wee
