just like the sun, lights up the earth, you light up my life
the only one, I've ever seen with a smile so bright
and just yesterday, you came around my way
and changed my whole scenery with your astonishing beauty

ah,you coulda make a brother sing, 
you ordinary thing, a supernatural being, 

I know you are just brighter than the moon
Brighter than the star, I love you just the way you are.

   And you are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams.

   you take me where I've never been

   you make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, oh ah

   you are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams

   and you remind me of a thing

   and that is the African beauty
