45 I like to spend some time in Mozambique
47 The sunny sky is aqua blue
49 And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek.
51 It's very nice to stay a week or two,
53 And maybe fall in love just me and you.
55 There's lots of pretty girls in Mozambique
56 And plenty time for good romance
57 And everybody likes to stop and speak
58 To give the special one you seek a chance
59 Or maybe say hello with just a glance.
64 Lying next to her by the ocean
66 Reaching out and touching her hand,
68 Whispering your secret emotion
70 Magic in a magical land.
74 And when it's time for leaving Mozambique
75 To say goodbye to sand and sea,
76 You turn around to take a final peek
77 And you see why it's so unique to be
78 Among the lovely people living free
79 Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique.
