She walks around slowly like a lion   Some kind of animal   Beauty's the beast walking through the jungle   The world is at her feet      She passes by not a word is spoken   Man she's got these eyes   With just a look   Animal instinct takes over your higher mind      The body's weak, the will is weaker   You think I'm crazy, Mister you ain't seen her      She's an African queen   Your most primitive dream   Close your eyes and repeat   Beauty's only skin deep   [African queen goes round and round]      She loves to dance when the spirit moves her   She moves like no one else   She makes you laugh, get's you thinking crazy   Till you don't know yourself      Go one jump in the water's waiting   Now you've been warned, so boy don't say you ain't been      She's an African queen   Your most primitive dream   Close your eyes and repeat   Beauty's only skin deep   African queen goes round and round      Never says nothing just comes around   Stealing your heart without a sound   She comes like a thief in the night   And she means to steal you blind      Call off the war, it's getting stronger   Don't try to fight   [Incomprehensible], you'd be getting weaker   You think I'm crazy, Mister you ain't seen her      She's an African queen   Your most primitive dream   Close your eyes and repeat   Beauty's only skin deep   African queen goes round and round      She's an African queen   Your most primitive dream   Close your eyes and repeat   Beauty's only skin deep   African queen goes round and round      She's an African queen   She's an African queen   She's an African queen
