mr. tembo

injili

injili

can i sing with you

'bout mr. tembo and what he's got to do

but first i'm going back

to the colworth road

to find the mission

and help him with his load

mr. tembo is on his way up the hill

with only this song to tell you how he feels

but to get there he will need a helping hand

it's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned

it's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned

injili

injili

we will sing with you

just like the t.v

in mr. tembo's room

off the emphatic night

he checked in on his own

at mkombozi inn and

made it his home

injili

injili

we will sing to you

'bout mr. tembo

and what he's going through

gets up early

while you are still in bed

mr. tembo

i'm trying to run this expedition in a decent manner!
