Once upon a time I made a lion roar - he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor. I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play, it's called Villa Borgese and it's on the way to East Africa Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four, I couls swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor, and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say, here's a child who'll want the world to go his way in East Africa, in East Africa. Suddenly for me the world turned upside down - far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound. Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me, came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy' Where's my East Africa? Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who knew it all) they said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall, so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to say I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other way! Back to East Africa Back to East Africa Back to East Africa Come with me I'm going back, going back to East Africa.
