The Joburg Ode Lyrics - Jo Tomlinson

This one's an ode 

To the city that I told you about 

Just take a plane or ship 

To the southernmost tip of Africa 

Buy hats for the heat 

From the side of the street or pavement 

And although there won't be pandas 

There'll be lots of Jacarandas 'round exam time 

Joburg 

I love your soul 'burg 

You're the city where I grew up 

City where I learned to walk 

Joburg 

I love your soul 'burg 

Your skyline sunsets 

Have captured my heart 

'Cause Boosh is really pretty 

And then there's In The City in Newtown 

And if you get the feeling 

You can stare at the ceiling in Kitcheners (it's beautiful) 

Joburg 

I love your soul 'burg 

You're the city where I grew up 

City where I learned to walk 

Joburg 

I love your soul 'burg 

Your skyline sunsets 

Have captured my heart 

If you want a tasty snippet 

Then make it to The Whippet in Linden 

And if you go to Braamies 

There's crafty beer and sarmies at Neighbourgoods 

Joburg 

I love your soul 'burg 

You're the city where I grew up 

City where I learned to walk 

Joburg 

I love your soul 'burg 

Your skyline sunsets 

And I know that in Cape Town they've got the mountain 

And I know that in Durban they've got the sea 

And I know that up east they've got all of the animals 

But Joburg, you'll always be home to me 

Joburg 

I love your soul 'burg 

You're the city where I grew up 

City where I learned to walk 

Joburg 

I love your soul 'burg 

And I always will
