you ordinary thing, a supernatural being,

I know you are just brighter than the moon
Brighter than the star, I love you just the way you are.


[Chorus]
(same as verse)

and you are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams.
you take me where I've never been
you make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, oh ahh
you are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams
and you remind me of a thing
and that is the African beauty yahhh


[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

yahh oooo you are my african queen, oh lord, oo lord hmm
out of a million you stand as one
the outstanding one
I look into your eyes, girl what I see is paradise,

yeah you captivated my soul, now everyday I want you more o o oo
How can I deny this feeling I'm feeling inside
ey oh no one can never take your place,

and you, you are the one that makes me smile
make me float like a boat upon the nile.

[Chorus]
(same as the first one)

you are my african queen and I know, oh yes I know hhn
you are my african queen and I know, see I know
See I know what I am feeling in my heart and in my soul
oh I know that it is love
And I know that this love was surely sent from up above
Cause you're the only one I think of
