Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh yeah-aah-aah-aah

Just like the sun light up the earth, you light up my life
The only one, I've ever seen with a smile so bright
And just yesterday, you came around my way

You changed my whole scenery
With your astonishing beauty
You coulda make a brother sin
No ordinary thing, supernatural being, and ooh
You are brighter than the moon
Brighter than the star
I love you just the way you are

Girl, you are my African Queen
I say you are the girl of my dreams
You take me where I never been
You make my heart go ding-a-ling-a-ling
You are my African Queen
You are the girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty

Ayy, ayy na so the story go
Ayy, ayy na so the story go

Out of a million you stand as one, the outstanding one
I look into ur eyes
Girl what I see is paradise
You captivated my soul
Now everyday I want you more ooh-ooh-ooh
How can I deny this feeling that I'm feeling inside, eh
No one that can take your place
That cannot take your space
That is a fact I cannot erase
And oh, you are the one that makes me smile
Make me float like a boat upon d nile

Girl, you are my African Queen
I say you are the girl of my dreams
You take me where I never been
You make my heart go ding-a-ling-a-ling
You are my African Queen
I say you are the girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah na so the thing go
Na so the story go

You are my African Queen and I know, see I know
You are my African Queen and I know, see I know

See I know what I am feeling in my heart and in my soul
Oh I know that it is love
And I know that this love was surely sent from up above
'Cause you're the only one that I think of
You are my African Queen
And I know that this means that you're the only one that I will serve
I'll give you my heart, my love, my body and my money
Every other thing you think of, ilama
Who could think of anything better than you
Who could think of ever hurting you
Sacrifice my all, I'll give it all to you
You are my African Queen, for real

You are my African Queen
The girl of my dreams
You take me where I never been
You make my heart go ding-a-ling-a-ling
You are my African Queen
The girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty

Na so the story go
