Found on Human Nature.



Lala Salama

To the Masai Mara

And asante sana

To Kichwa Tembo



I'm going Oloololo

Back to the world where I'm from

Soon I'll be flying solo

On a heading that follows the sun



Oloololo, Oloololo, 'loololo



'Cause I've been down from Nairobi

Southeast of Kisumu

To the waiting savanna

Like a place that I once knew



And the river was flowing

While the crocodile baked in the sun

With the elephant knowing

That a change had already begun



Oloololo, Oloololo, 'loololo



Oloololo, Oloololo

(Lala Salama) Oloololo (To the Masai Mara)

(And asante sana) Oloololo (To Kichwa Tembo)
