This is a Christmas song and it's not about reindeer
Flipped script – no sleigh bells ring-a-jingling today
Nothing but sunshine and starlit skies around here
Bell choirs and chimes but amapiano please DJ?
Yeah, we're giving the season a twist
And you know we're gonna have to insist
Ooh-hoo-hoo
It's the Christmas beat of Africa
Ooh-hoo-hoo
East to West and sea to savannah
We're trading winter wonderland for our technicolour motherland
We've got a rhythm and a rhyme is this warm southern breeze
Hey Joe! Snow angles in the golden beach sand
This is our African Dream - only tidings of peace
Here comes aunty with the sticky and sweet
And now we're moving to different beat
Ooh-hoo-hoo
It's the Christmas beat of Africa
Ooh-hoo-hoo
East to West and sea to savannah
Ooh-hoo-hoo
Santa's trading his coat for some SPF50
The sun's embrace where everything is slow and easy
Beneath the Southern Cross there's a tale that endures
A child that was a born and a love that's assured
A nativity stable to the King of Kings
These are a few of our favourite things!
Ooh-hoo-hoo
It's the Christmas beat of Africa
Ooh-hoo-hoo
East to West, and sea to savannah
Ooh-hoo-hoo
It's the Christmas beat of Africa
Ooh-hoo-hoo
East to West, and sea to savannah
Ooh-hoo-hoo
Ooh-hoo-hoo
