About

“Congo Man” was first performed in 1964 but was banned until 1989 due to its content. This song has two differing meanings; one related to the rumoured cannibalism in Congo, Africa that made recurring headlines and the other related to the African man’s sexual desire to be with a white woman.

Congo Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two white women traveling 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...! He want more!

[Chorus]
Aye yi yah, I envy de Congo-man
I wish I could’a go and shake he hand
He eat until he stomach upset and I...
I never eat ah white meat yet

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

[Chorus]
Aye yi yah, I envy de Congo-man
He better than me, I feel to shake he hand
If you know how much traps I set until I sweat
But I never eat ah white meat yet, yet

[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, he bites she on she leg
He eats she raw!

[Chorus]
Aye yi yah! I envy de Congo-man
He better than me, I feel to shake he hand
You know he eat until he stomach upset
You know, you know me I never catch... catch...!

[Verse 4]
The next one started screamin' wit'
All de voice got (voice she got)
He lifts she up and he puts she inside a
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 I could'a go and shake he hand
He eat until he stomach upset and I...
I never catch ah white meat yet

[Outro]
(I never eat a white meat yet)
(I never eat a white meat yet)
(I never eat a white meat yet)
(I never eat a white meat yet)
(I never eat a white meat yet)
(I never eat a white meat yet)
(I never eat a white meat yet)

I never catch ah white meat yet!

(Lie!)

Who lie, who lie?
Who're you callin’ liar!
