Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm dancing the seven veils

Want you to pick up my scarf

See how the black moon fades

Soon I can give you my heart

Ooh-uh-huh

Ooh-hoo

[PreChorus]

I don't know no shame, I feel no pain

I can't see the flame

[Chorus]

But I do know Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

I do

[Verse 2]

They're throwing it all this way

Dragging it back to the start

And they say, "See how the glass is raised?"

I have refused to take part

I told them, "Bring something new"

Please let me pull something through

[PreChorus]

I don't know no shame, I feel no pain

I can't

I don't know no shame, I feel no pain

I can't see the flame

[Chorus]

But I do know Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

I do

[Outro]

I do-ooh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I do-ooh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I said I do (Soon I can give you my heart)

I swear I do (Soon I can give you my heart)

I do

Mandinka

Soon I can give you my heart

Soon I can give you my heart

Soon I can give you my heart
