Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Yiyo mama, yiyo mama (nants' ipata pata)
Yiyo mama, yiyo mama (nants' ipata pata)
Ha, yiyo mama, yiyo mama (nants' ipata pata)

Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Pata pata is the name of a dance we do down Johannesburg way (nants' ipata pata)
And everybody starts to move as soon as pata pata begins to play (nants' ipata pata)
Woo!

Ha, yiyo mama, yiyo mama (nants' ipata pata)
Yiyo mama, yiyo mama (nants' ipata pata)
Hayi ke saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka (nants' ipata pata)
Woo, every Friday and Saturday nights (nants' ipata pata)
It's Pata Pata time (nants' ipata pata)
The dance keeps going all night long (nants' ipata pata)
'Til the morning sun begins to shine (nants' ipata pata)
Hey!
Saguquka sathi iyo (iyo ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka nants'ipa– (iyo ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi nants' ipata– (iyo ipata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka nants' ipata– (iyo ipata pata)
Yiyo mama, yiyo mama (nants' ipata pata)
Yiyo mama, yiyo mama (nants' ipata pata)
Yiyo mama, yiyo mama (nants' ipata pata)
Ah, yiyo mama, yiyo mama (nants' ipata pata)
Ooh, saguquka sathi, hit it (iyo ipata pata)
Oh, saguquka sathi nants'ipa–, hit it (iyo ipata pata)
Oh, nants' ipata pata (iyo ipata pata)
Oh, saguquka sathi
