  • 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 ooh ooh ooh"
    Indigo go up to heaven today
    "Woo woo, woo woo ooh ooh ooh"
    With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom
    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
    And he went "Woo woo, woo woo ooh ooh ooh"
    Tulips the color of honey today
    It's true true, woo woo ooh ooh ooh
    With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom
    He 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 (yeah)

    Woo woo, woo woo ooh ooh ooh
    Woo woo, woo woo ooh ooh ooh
    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 ooh ooh ooh
    I guess we'll be raised on our own then
    Woo woo, woo woo ooh ooh ooh
    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
