I Miss You Now That I'm Far (Pooshka-POOSHKA)

You were like a summer breeze / a special place just for me /

And every year I would see you / But now I no longer do /

I moved away some years ago / To places where it snows (ah) /

Now whenever I think of you / I wanna let the whole world know

(HOOK)

Christmas time in Africa / I miss you now that I'm far /

Hot koki, hot days, Makossa / Christmas time in Africa / (Christmas time in Africa...)

Some people say "buff, mais qu'est-ce qu'il dit" /

But that don't matter much to me (don't matter to me) /

As long as you give me songs to sing (ah) /

And a chance for presents to bring /

My friends complain this time of year /

That all I do is sit and stare / I must be day-dreaming of you /

Because nothing / nothing, nothing, nothing compares

(HOOK)

Christmas time in Africa / I miss you now that I'm far (ooh yeah) /

Hot koki, hot days, Makossa (Makossa) / Christmas time in Africa... /

So if you're far away from home / If you're missing /

Christmas time in Africa / Ooh / Catch a plane catch a bus because

Ahh-Ahh / Ahhh

(HOOK)

Christmas time in Africa / I miss you now that I'm far (ooh yeah) /

Hot koki, hot days, makossa (makossa) / Christmas time in Africa... /

(The Fried Fish, Bo-bo-lo, Koki oh / Soya!)

Christmas time in Africa / in Africa
