Let me tell you 'bout my neighborhood 'Cause when you visit me tonight Ooh, you better stay out of the shadows, Stay in the bright, bright light Don't take fright, The natives are restless tonight They're not particularly interested In me or you, They're just looking for some meat To put into their stew Don't take fright, The natives are restless tonight And they go "Oompapa oompapa oompapa hey hey, Oompapa oompapa oompapa hey hey, Oompapa oompapa oompapa hey hey, Oompapa oompapa oompapa hey hey" It's best to stay upstairs With the good-book all alone 'Cause when the drums start burnin' You better leave your sermons at home Don't take fright, The natives are restless tonight You might consider yourself lucky Just to be alive 'Cause it's a full moon tonight And it's just right for a conquering tribe Don't take fright, The natives are restless tonight
