Afro Beat: The Shoki Shoki Dance of Femi Kuti

Ahaah! Oya oh!
Awon omo Naija!
Ijo ti ya
Ijo Africa
Ayakata
Patapata.
Femi the son of Fela
For ever lives Africa
Femi the spirit and the soul of the rumba
The Prince with the Saxophone
Blowing the breath of the spirit into the microphone.
Now here comes Yeni the Princess of Afro Beat
Gyrating to the drum beats with her waist and her feet.
She is the Leading Lady of the African Shrine
Yeni the African amazon and the African heroine.

Oya oh!
Awon omo Anikulapo kuti
Egba lagba Fiditi.

C'mon! Stomp the feet and twist your waist
Stomp and stomp and stomp
And don't stop
This is the Afro Beat rumba
The rumba of the samba.
Shoki-shoki
Shokishoki!
Shoki-shoki
Shokishoki!

Ahaaah! Femi ti de!

Make una commot for road.

Femi wants to download.

Give the Prince the space

Give him the room for the robust dance.

Ahaah! Oya! Shoki-shoki-shoki!
