Lyrics

Injili, Injiili, can I sing to you 'Bout Mr. Temboa and what he's got to do But first I'm going back to the could weal floud To find the mission and help him with his luck Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill With only this song to tell you how he feels But to get there he will need a helping hand It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned Injili, Injiili, we will sing with you Just like the T.V, in Mr. Tembo's room Off the emphatic night he checked in on his own At Mkombozi Inn and made it his home Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill With only this song to tell you how he feels But to get there he will need a helping hand It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned Injili, Injili, we all sing to you 'Bout Mr. Tembo and what he's going through Gets up early while you are still in bed Mr. Tembo great blanket by his head Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill With only this song to tell you how he feels But to get there he will need a helping hand It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned Hey, you keep those lions off the front of the boat! Good god, man! Have you some cotton in your ears?! I'm trying to run this expedition in a decent manner! The 264 is gulf, bungalow, styles, canals, cows, haybells Telegraph wires, pylon power Farmhouse over chimneys still used Stone, satellites, football, pictures, favorite flags, and lots of dogs Neon cross on top of a block of slates on a church, not as usual Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill With only this song to tell you how he feels But to get there he will need a helping hand It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
