Great queens of Afrika
Rulers all aroun'
They were mighty brave and strong
Europeans couldn't get them down
Afrika had great kings and queens

If you know not from whence you came
You are doomed to live in shame
In a Afrika
Talkin' 'bout Makeda
Queen of Sheba
Ruled from Arabia to Ethiopia
Fell in love with Solomon
Brought forth Haile Selassie
Forefather Menelik I
In a Afrika
Amina rode at the head of
Her troops in war
Conquered enemies near
And far
Great queen of Hausa land
A woman as capable as any man
In a Afrika
Nzinga of Angola
Fought the Portuguese
As a guerilla soldier
At age 70 she was still on top
Portuguese, Dutch, Nzinga
They could not stop
Si queen nanny of Jamaica
She rule de area
When de English dem lick shot
All she do is spit it back
In a Afrika
Now when I was a child I
Thought Cleopatra
Looked exactly like
Elizabeth Taylor
Now I am wiser I understand
Cleopatra was really an Egyptian
In a Afrika
Yes Afrika had great kings
And queens you should know

If you know not from whence you came
You are doomed to live in shame
