Zulu man is feelin' blue

Gear his heart beat a little tattoo

Diga diga doo diga doo doo

Diga diga doo diga doo



You love me and I love you

And when you love it is natural to

Diga diga doo diga doo doo

Diga diga doo diga doo



I'm so very diga diga doo by nature

If you don't say diga diga to your mate

You're gonna lose a papa.



So let those funny people smile

How can there be a Virgin isle

With diga diga doo diga doo doo

Diga diga doo diga doo



No one heeds the marriage laws

Yours is mine and mine is yours

With diga diga doo diga doo doo

Diga diga doo diga doo
