[Verse 1]

Night time brings dark rapture

Bringing us delight

While we both recapture

The thrill that fills the still of a Congo night


[Verse 2]

Tropic breezes tell of

Love that's wild and free

While we share the spell of

The jungle wonder under a bamboo tree


[Bridge]

Why do we hear the tom-toms

Every time our hearts meet?

Because the tom-toms

Are the way our hearts beat


[Verse 3]

May we share dark rapture

As the years take flight

May we always capture

Thе thrill that fills the still of a Congo night
