Ngoma

Ngoma yangu cheza ngoma

Friday night and I’m home alone

On my dial is 3-4-0

Music’s loud and the lights turned low

I’m feeling it deep, feel it deep down in my marrow

I think I’m ‘bout to piss all my neighbours off

Yelling out of tune, off key, off note

Dancing like I don’t have to work tomorrow

It doesn’t even matter if I’m on my own

I’ve got my ngoma…

Ngoma yangu cheza ngoma

Thursday night you were on your way

Was so excited I could not contain

But you were just setting me up for disappointment

Because somehow you didn’t even make it today

Don’t worry ‘bout late night Q&As

I don’t have the energy or time to be on your case

I’d rather have a party, hang out with myself

Even without out you I’ll be OK, I’m just saying

I’ve got my ngoma…

Ngoma yangu cheza ngoma

All I need is to hear that song

Cheza ngoma

Ngoma yangu cheza ngoma
