  • Hobo villa, Hobo need
    Even dead, fear alone indeed
    Even dead fear marble eye
    He been living in a lullaby

    Machinery overheat
    Vambo teaching mastery
    Over shaka, shake her fast
    Even old marble eye go past him

    Chorus: Vambo comin' to the rescue (3 times)

    Up the go go river
    Give away, lobster hobo, say OK
    Long, long lover
    She say goodbye
    He been living in a lullaby

    Chorus

    Vambo never, show him face
    Hold him head in no disgrace
    Hobo villa on the Hobo need
    Even the dead fear alone indeed

    Even dead fear marble eye
    Ain't no way for he to die
    Tell me no story, tell me no lie
    He been living in a lullaby

    Chorus:

    Vambo Comin' to the rescue
    Vambo rule OK, Vambo rule
