CHAKALAKA
One Sunday morning
You know while everyone was at church
I was at home by myself
Examining my self worth
And I was feeling low down
I mean like, really bladdy low
Tryna find my way home
Oh Chakalaka, Chakalaka won't you throw a dog a bone
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me jou lekker ding
Hold me
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me as ek nou sing
Hold me
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
Now I don't mean to be all preachy
You know like, some people do
Telling you that, life's all just happy
Don't worry son you're never gonna have to sing the blues
So then I fell down on the line
And I held up my hands
And I cried out for Jesus but he picked me up and turned me round
And put me right back in your hands
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me jou lekker ding
Hold me
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me as ek not sing
Hold me
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
Now some years later
I'm like, I'm 92
And I'm sitting all alone by myself on my stoep
But I'm still rocking out for you (and you can)
You can try to explain (this)
Thing I'm trying to say (to)
Everybody round (you now)
Oh sons of mine can you see the burning crown
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me jou lekker ding
Hold me
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me as ek not sing
Hold me
Oh when your heart is a Chakalaka
Oh when your mind is a Chakalaka
Everything you think is a Chakalaka
Everything you find is a Chakalaka
Hold me ee ee ee ee ee
Ee ee ee ee ee
Ee ee ee ee e e e e e
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me jou lekker ding
Hold me
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me jou lekker ding
Hold me
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me jou lekker ding
Hold me
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
Hold me Chakalaka
Hold me jou lekker ding
Hold me
Dit voel so bladdy lekker
