This one's an ode
To the city that I told you about
Just take a plane or ship
To the southernmost tip of Africa
Buy hats for the heat
From the side of the street or pavement
And although there won't be pandas
There'll be lots of Jacarandas 'round exam time
Joburg
I love your soul 'burg
You're the city where I grew up
City where I learned to walk
Joburg
I love your soul 'burg
Your skyline sunsets
Have captured my heart
'Cause Boosh is really pretty
And then there's In The City in Newtown
And if you get the feeling
You can stare at the ceiling in Kitcheners (it's beautiful)
Joburg
I love your soul 'burg
You're the city where I grew up
City where I learned to walk
Joburg
I love your soul 'burg
Your skyline sunsets
Have captured my heart
If you want a tasty snippet
Then make it to The Whippet in Linden
And if you go to Braamies
There's crafty beer and sarmies at Neighbourgoods
Joburg
I love your soul 'burg
You're the city where I grew up
City where I learned to walk
Joburg
I love your soul 'burg
Your skyline sunsets
And I know that in Cape Town they've got the mountain
And I know that in Durban they've got the sea
And I know that up east they've got all of the animals
But Joburg, you'll always be home to me
Joburg
I love your soul 'burg
You're the city where I grew up
City where I learned to walk
Joburg
I love your soul 'burg
And I always will
