There's a bitter wind in Tanganyika   And it keeps on blowing 'cross my mind   There's a bitter wind in Tanganyika   As I sit here and try to unwind      Better watch, your messing 'round   Better watch, your messing 'round   Better watch, your messing 'round   Better watch, your messing 'round      There's a bitter wind in Tanganyika   As I sit here with a smile on my face   There's a bitter wind in Tanganyika   As I sit here, the same old place      Better watch, your messing 'round   Better watch, your messing 'round   Better watch, your messing 'round   Better watch, your messing 'round
