[Intro]

This is the story about two lovely white woman

Travelling all the way to Africa

Annd they found themselves deep down in the heart of the Baluba

The Baluba, the Baluba in the Congo

In the hands of my big brother Oompah!

Now had it been me, I would have taken them back to their husbands

But brother was hungry...


[Verse 1]

Two white women travelling through

Africa (Africa)

Find themselves in de hands of

A cannibal headhunter (headhunter)

He cook up one an' he eat one raw

Dey taste so good he wanted more

More...! Me want more!


[Chorus]

Aye aye aye eh, I envy de Congo-man

I wish it was me, I want to shake he hand

And if you know how much trap I set, and up to now

(I never eat ah white meat yet!)


[Verse 2]

Peeping thru' de bushes to see what's

Takin' place (taking place)

There I saw de Congo going to

Take a little taste (take a little taste)

He open he eye and he start to grin

Rubbin' he belly and he mumbling...


[Chorus]

Aye yi yah, I envy de Congo-man

I wish it was me, I want to shake he hand

And if you know how much trap I set, what about you?

(I never eat ah white meat yet!)

Ah want to send a message to Tobago right now...


[Verse 3]

He ties dem' up and he put dem' to lay down

On de ground (on the ground)

Light up de fire and he started dancing

Round and round (round and round)

One of de women started to beg

He bites she on she chest and then he catch she on she leg

He eats she raw!


[Chorus]

Aye yi yah! I envy de Congo-man

I wish it was me, I want to shake he hand

If you know how much trap I set, and up to now

(I never eat ah white meat yet!)


[Verse 4]

The next one started screamin' wit'

All de voice she got (the voice she got)

He lifts she up and he puts she inside a

Big big big big big big pot (big big pot)

De water was warm, she started to wiggle

De Congo started to laugh and giggle


[Chorus]

Aye yi yah! I envy de Congo-man

I wish it was me, I want to shake he hand

And if you know how much trap I set, and up to now

(I never eat ah white meat yet!)


[Outro]

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)

I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
