Pata Pata

Pata Pata is the name of a dance

We do down Johannesburg way.

And everybody starts to move

As soon as Pata Pata starts to play

Aya sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pata

A sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pat

A sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pata

A sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pata

Hihi ha mama, hi-a-ma sat si pata

Hihi ha mama, hi-a-ma sat si pat

A-hihi ha mama, hi-a-ma sat si pata pat

A-hihi ha mama, hi-a-ma sat si pat

Haji-a sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pata

A sat wuguga sat ju benga jo-ho

A sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pata pat

A sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si

Hoo, every Friday and Saturday night

It's Pata Pata time

The dance keeps going all night long

Till the morning sun begins to shine

Aya sat wuguga sat

Aya sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pata

A sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pat

A sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pata

A sat wuguga sat ju benga sat si pata

Hihi ha mama, hi-a-ma sat si pata

Hihi ha mama, hi-a-ma sat si pat

A-hihi ha mama, hi-a-ma sat si pata pat

A-hihi ha mama, hi-a-ma sat si pat
