Bwana Iguana - Around the World @ the Speed of LIght

Mbira Nshot

I find myself on the cape of good hope
I find myself there a lot
Because my job is to get the news
And South Africa is hot
And when I get down there
Likely as not
My guide through southern Africa is
Mbira N'shot
Mbira, Mbira N'shot

I have to get into Soweto
It's not the safest place to be
The locals don't trust me 'cause I'm white
DeKlerk says it's something I shouldn't see
But I can get stories out of the Townships
I'm Johnny-on-the-spot
Because the guy I'm travelling with is
Mbira N'shot
Mbira, Mbira N'shot

They don't trust my skin
But when I'm with him
Bantu polyglot?
No problem, Mbira N'shot

And when the day is over
And the dispatches are all sent
And the wires can carry the story
And my accountant can pay the rent
And I made it through another day
Without a bullet or a garrot
I hunker down in a Joburg bar with
Mbira N'shot
Mbira, Mbira N'shot
