Fela Kuti - Nubian Nut lyrics

King Nut the Nubian Tut Say follow follow they use their ears Say follow follow then they use their minds But when they follow your body Then they loose their minds Let me tell you a little story about King Nut The natives call him the Nubian Tut Out of 1407 he came to be somewhere around 2000 B.C Well the natives clap for the Nubian sap Then sit back and listen to the King Nuts rap Do It! Shaka do da Shaka do da Shaka do da Shaka do da Shaka do da Shaka do da I know you hitting be true Knee deep in the jungle where the coconuts grow Where the tiger and the lion boogie with the rhinos There's a tribe over here there's a tribe over there Drums beating funky rhythm, music's everywhere Doing the Nubian Nut Say follow follow they loose their ears Say follow follow then they loose their minds High high high Doo doo doo doo doo Shoo bee doo bee doo dow Doo dow doo dow doo dow King Nubian never got hot before a show 'cause in the motherland they didn't wear too many clothes People talk that talk break out the camel walk Then he wiggle through the jungle just as quick as a hawk Then he grab his spear then he grab his shield Show all the native people just how good he feel Doing the Nubian Nut Say you got what you got gotten gotten goo ga got Ho! doing the Nubian Nut Say follow follow they loose their ears Say follow follow then they loose their minds Say follow follow then they loose their mouths Late at night he'd talk his crap While soaking his feet in some Nubian sap He had a bone through his ear and one through his nose The women in the tribe would ma**age his toes Yeah! When he asks you what's jumpin' it's the peas in the pot They wouldn't be jumping if the water wasn't hot Doing the Nubian Nut Yeah follow follow follow follow Follow follow follow follow The people didn't know where the beat was coming from But they knew it had to be another Nubian drum King Nut is the future history Somewhere around 2000 A.D Holding up the shield that's a glowing green Raising a spear that shoots laser beams Riding in a spaceship up and down the street Tooting at the fine women on the block he meet Throwing down in studios track by track Letting everybody know the impost right fact Another spaceship here another spaceship there Here a ship there a ship everywhere a mothership Landing in Detroit at United Sounds Where all the funkateers like to boogie down Because most of all we need the funk Oh uh heh heh heh Say follow follow they use their ears Say follow follow then they use their minds Say follow follow they use their mouths But when they follow your body Then they loose their minds Follow follow follow follow Follow follow follow follow Shoo bee doo bee doo dow Doo dow doo dow doo dow Follow follow follow follow Shoo bee doo bee doo dow Doo dow doo dow doo dow Follow follow follow follow Shoo bee doo bee doo dow Doo dow doo dow doo dow Follow follow follow follow Shoo bee doo bee doo dow Doo dow doo dow doo dow
