[Intro]
Oh oh oh
Oh ooh yeah ah ah ah ah ah ah


[Verse 1]
Just like the sun
Lights up the earth
You light up my life, and
The only one
I've ever seen with a smile so bright
And just yesterday
You came around my way
And changed my whole scenery
With your astonishing beauty
Ah, you coulda make a brother sing
You ordinary thing
A supernatural being
I know you are brighter than the moon
Brighter than the star
I love you just the way you are


[Chorus]
And you are my African Queen
I swear you are the girl of my dreams
You take me where I've never been
You make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, eh
You are my African Queen
Girl you are the girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty yeah e yeah
Yeah, yeah, na so the story go
Eh, eh, na so the story go
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
See


[Verse 2]
Out of a million you stand as one
The outstanding one
I look into your eyes
Girl what I see is paradise
You captivated my soul
Now every day I want you more oh oh
How can I deny this feeling that I'm feeling inside?
Eh, no one can take your place
They cannot take your space
That's a fact I cannot erase
And oh, you are the one that makes me smile
Make me float like a boat upon the Nile


[Chorus]
Girl, you are my African Queen
I say you are the girl of my dreams
You take me where I've never been
You make my heart go ding-a-ling-a-ling, eh yeah
You are my African Queen
I say you are the girl of my dreams
You remind me of a thing, girl
That is the African beauty eh e yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh ooh oh yeah yeah yeah
Na so the thing go

[Bridge]
You are my African Queen and I know, see I know
You are my African Queen and I know, see I know
See I know what I am feeling
In my heart and in my soul
Oh I know that it is love
And I know that this love was surely sent from up above
'Cause you're the only one I think of
You are my African Queen and I know that this means that you're the only one that I will serve
I'll give you my heart, my love, my body and my money
Every other thing you think of
Inaman
Who could think of anything better than you?
Who could think of ever hurting you?
Sacrifice my all, I'll give it all to you
You are my African Queen
For real, yeah


[Chorus]
You are my African Queen
The girl of my dreams
You take me where I've never been
You make my heart go ding-a-ling-a-ling, ooh ooh
You are my African Queen, eh
The girl of my dreams
You remind me of a thing, girl
And that is the African beauty eh e yeah

[Outro]
Na so the story go
