I'm dancing the seven veils
Want you to pick up my scarves
See how the black moon fades
Soon I can give you my heart
Ooh
Ooh

I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't see the flame

But I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do

They're throwing it all this way
Dragging it back to the start
"See how the glass is raised?"
I have refused to take part

I told them, "Drink something new"
Please, let me pull something through

I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't
I don't know no shame
I feel no pain
I can't see the flame

But I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I said I do

I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka

I said I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I said I do
I said I do
I said I do
