About

His classic “Congo Man” (first recorded in 1965) is given a bouncier arrangement, but the story hasn’t changed—it’s still about the food chain. Sparrow’s vocals are as demonic as on the original.

Congo Man [1967 Version] Lyrics

[Intro]
This is the story about two lovely white woman
Travelling all the way to Africa
Annd they found themselves deep down in the heart of the Baluba
The Baluba, the Baluba in the Congo
In the hands of my big brother Oompah!
Now had it been me, I would have taken them back to their husbands
But brother was hungry...

[Verse 1]
Two white women travelling through
Africa (Africa)
Find themselves in de hands of
A cannibal headhunter (headhunter)
He cook up one an' he eat one raw
Dey taste so good he wanted more
More...! Me want more!

[Chorus]
Aye aye aye eh, I envy de Congo-man
I wish it was me, I want to shake he hand
And if you know how much trap I set, and up to now
(I never eat ah white meat yet!)

[Verse 2]
Peeping thru' de bushes to see what's
Takin' place (taking place)
There I saw de Congo going to
Take a little taste (take a little taste)
He open he eye and he start to grin
Rubbin' he belly and he mumbling...

[Chorus]
Aye yi yah, I envy de Congo-man
I wish it was me, I want to shake he hand
And if you know how much trap I set, what about you?
(I never eat ah white meat yet!)

Ah want to send a message to Tobago right now...

[Verse 3]
He ties dem' up and he put dem' to lay down
On de ground (on the ground)
Light up de fire and he started dancing
Round and round (round and round)
One of de women started to beg
He bites she on she chest and then he catch she on she leg
He eats she raw!

[Chorus]
Aye yi yah! I envy de Congo-man
I wish it was me, I want to shake he hand
If you know how much trap I set, and up to now
(I never eat ah white meat yet!)

[Verse 4]
The next one started screamin' wit'
All de voice she got (the voice she got)
He lifts she up and he puts she inside a
Big big big big big big pot (big big pot)
De water was warm, she started to wiggle
De Congo started to laugh and giggle

[Chorus]
Aye yi yah! I envy de Congo-man
I wish it was me, I want to shake he hand
And if you know how much trap I set, and up to now
(I never eat ah white meat yet!)

[Outro]
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
I never eat a white meat (oh no!)
