HEY! HEY!

HAYI! HAYI!
© Farouk Asvat


Hayi! Hayi!
Mandela is no god

Hayi! Hayi!
Mandela is no good

Hayi! Hayi!
We have a new class
Of boss boys

Hayi! Hayi!
We have a new class
Of parliament chiefs

Hayi! Hayi!
We now have the illusion
Of a revolution

[] WIETIE WHAT-WHAT



Bra Frooks is ...
                                []  nes 'n skollie
                                []  'n egte skollie
                                []  'n tsotsi
                                []  a real scamp
                                []  streetwise
                                []  the jokerman

Bra Frooks ...
                                []  praat soos 'n skollie
                                []  wietie soos 'n joster
                                []  wietie what-what
                                []  tunes like a durbanite
                                []  speaks like an englishman
