Orphans

I want to know
When I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends

Boom boom ka buba de ka
Boom boom ka buba de ka
Boom boom ka buba de ka

Rosaleem of the damascene
Yes, she had eyes like the moon
Would have been on the silver screen
But for the missile monsoon

She went: woo woo
Woo woo-oo-oo-oo
Indigo up in heaven today
Woo woo
Woo woo-oo-oo-oo
Bombs going boom baboomboom

She say
I want to know
When I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know
When I can go
Back and be young again

Baba would go where the flowers grow
Almond and peach trees in bloom
And he would know just when and what to sow
So golden and opportune

He went: woo woo
Woo woo-oo-oo-oo
Tulips the colour of honey today
It's true true
Woo woo-oo-oo-oo
Bombs going boom baboomboom

He say
Oh, I want to know
When I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know
When I can go
Back and be young again

Woo woo
Woo woo-oo-oo-oo
Woo woo
Woo woo-oo-oo-oo

Cherubim seraphim soon
Come sailing us home by the light of the moon

Oh, I want to know
When I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know
When I can go
Back and feel home again

Woo woo
Woo woo-oo-oo-oo
I guess we'll be raised on our own then (Woo woo)
Woo woo-oo-oo-oo
I want to be with you til the world ends
I want to be with you til the whole world ends

Boom boom ka buba de ka
Boom boom ka buba de ka
Boom boom ka buba de ka
Boom
