Hall & Oates

Hall & Oates are an American musical duo composed of Daryl Hall and John Oates. They achieved their greatest fame in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s with a fusion of rock and roll and rhythm and blues styles, which they dubbed "rock and soul." Critics Stephen Thomas Erlewine and J. Scott McClintock write, "at their best, Hall & Oates' songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them by incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock." While much of the duo's reputation is due to its sustained pop-chart run in the 1980s, they continue to record and tour, and remain respected by various artists for their ability to cross stylistic boundaries. more »

My baby went to Africa
With the dirty lens photographer
My baby land in jungle land (aaah)
With a U S body and a real light tan
(With a U S body and a real light tan)
My baby went to Africa
My baby went to Africa
Sing it (uuuh uuuh)
Sing it (uuuh uuuh)

My baby went to Africa (hoo hoo)
With a make-up man and a love-sick lover (hoo hoo)
She get a couple o' grand and a two-piece suit (aaah)
Let the folks back home see the native beauty
(The folks back home see the native beauty)
My baby went to Africa
My baby went to Africa
My baby went to Africa
I packed my bags I gotta get to her
Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones
And the boys sing
(uuuh uuuh) Africa Africa
(uuuh uuuh)
And the girls sing
(uuuh uuuh uuuh uuuh)

My baby went to Africa
I packed my bags I gotta get to her
Before the lions and tigers try to jump on her bones
Sing (baby went to africa) africa africa
(Baby went to Africa) Africa Africa
(Baby went to Africa) lions and tigers try to jump on her bones
(Baby went to Africa baby went to Africa baby went to Africa) go back home
To the native beauty
(Baby went to Africa baby went to Africa baby went to Africa) I'm on my way
(Baby went to Africa baby went to Africa)
