Gumbagumba Jive Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Wo liyeza - wo tomorrow 

Wo liyeza - it's coming down 

You've got to rol with the punches and change with the times 

Don't let today forget yesterday's smiles 

Undermeath all some things never die 

We've got to listen to the rhythm, keep moving you and I 

Last time when we said hello 

We spoke about these things 

We listened to the radio 

And heard the Gumba man sing 

He said: "You've got to keep alive, don't get left behind 

The Gumba Jive will take you to a better side" 

CHORUS: 

And so we'll dance the Gumbagumba Jive again, oh yea, one more time, 

"You've got to keep alive - Gumbagumba! 

Jive! Jive! You've got to move to keep alive, 

You don't know where you might 

Lay your head tonight -O-O-O-" 

Now the days are hard and the nights are as lonely 

I never see you, you never come around, you never phone me 

So I listen to the rhythm of the Gumbagumba man 

So I listen to the rhythm of the Gumbagumba man 

Ngijayiva njengenkalakala nginikinik' ikhanda nje 

I've got to keep alive, I won't get left behind 

Gumba Jive will take me to a better side
