Kyle Gordon Mr. Jambo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey there, Mr. Jambo, out there in the African sun
Do you ever get tired?
Hey there, Mr. Jambo, will you share with me the jambalaya living in your soul?

[Pre-Chorus]
And then he told me
"Angikhulumi isiNgisi, unaye umhumushi? Yeka ukuklabalasa!"
Well, I couldn't speak his language, I couldn't even understand a word
But I knew the meaning was what I decided I had heard

[Chorus]
He said, "The love you seek is in the valley of the soul
The love you seek, it's in the wisdom written on the ancient scrolls"

[Verse 2]
Hey there, Mr. Jambo, out there with the lions and bears
Do you ever get scared?
Hey there, Mr. Jambo, can the Serengeti swallow up the evils of this world? [Pre-Chorus]
And then he whispered
"Angikhulumi isiNgisi, unaye umhumushi? Yeka ukuklabalasa!"
Still couldn't speak his language, I couldn't even understand a word
But I knew the meaning was what I decided I had heard

[Chorus]
He said, "The love you seek is in the valley of the soul
The love you seek, it's in the wisdom written on the ancient scrolls"

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
The love you seek is in the valley of the soul
The love you seek, it's in the wisdom written on the ancient scrolls

[Outro]
The African wisdom, everybody say, "Hey"
In the valley, written on the ancient scrolls
