Ye Ye De Smell

Everybody I'll like you to meet Ginger Baker

That's enough, that's enough
The record is moving, the record is moving
Don't let's stop

This one is called in my own thing, language, Ye-ye De Smell
Smell is English, Ye-ye de smell, that means
This is like a kind of friendship thing
When you're, you're somebody's friend
And he's doing the things that a friend doesn't do
Then he smells, ra ra

I wrote this tune specially for Ginger
Ye-ye De Smell, he doesn't smell really
He takes his bath

Out of sight drummers of the Africa '17
