Africa Place Lyrics by Lee “Scratch” Perry

Dub Fire

1998

[intro]
Jah, rastafarian
[Chorus]
There's a place called Africa far, far away (Hu-hu)
There's a place called Africa milions miles away
Mom mi says, that's where we're from
And I know, she can't be wrong
So Take me back to Africa
Mama, how did I get a here?
[Verse 1]
She said, "once upon a time, my son
They stowed us on a ship
The boss she went so snipe that day
And gived no way on a pay"
But, a brighter sun will come one day
They can't stop us, but on may
Pratice son, let's come to a day
A day will have to pay (hey)
They will have to pay
[pre-Chorus]
There's a place called Africa milions miles away (far, far away)
There's a place called Africa far, far away who live
There's a place called africa milions miles away
They can't stop us, come what may
Mommy says "[?] i don't know she can be wrong" so take us the pack from africa, mammy how i get here? please, please tell me
[Chorus]
There's a place called Africa far, far away
There's a place called Africa far, far away who live
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
[outro]
There's a place called africa mil-
There's a place called africa milion miles away
Mom (mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom)
There's a place called africa mill-
