Pata Pata - Miriam Makeba
Another Song that was wildly Popular in South Africa and Rhodesia in 1967 (The best year)
[Lyrics transcribed to English]
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
Pata Pata is the name of the dance
We do down Johannesburg way
And everybody starts to move
As soon as Pata Pata starts to play
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
Every Friday and Saturday Night
It’s Pata Pata time!
The dance keeps going all night long
Til’ the morning sun begins to shine!
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
