(o) walo ile babawa o - walo ile omon africa
(o) walo ile babawa o - walo ile omon africa
Hush now child, ale le and don't you cry, ale le go
Your folks might understand you,ale le
By and by, ale le go
Move on up
Towards your destination
But you may find
From time to time
Complications
Tche tche koule
Tche tche kofissa
Kofissa langa
Langa ti langa
Tche tche koule
Tche tche kofissa
Kofissa langa
Langa ti langa
(o) walo ile babawa o - walo ile omon africa
(o) walo ile babawa o - walo ile omon africa
Bite your lip, ale le and take a trip, ale le go
Though there may bewet road ahead, ale le
And you cannot slip, ale le go
Move on up
And peace you will find
Into the steeple
Of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind
Tche tche koule
Tche tche kofissa
Kofissa langa
Langa ti langa
Tche tche koule
Tche tche kofissa
Kofissa langa
Langa ti langa
So hush now child, ale le and don't you cry, ale le go
Your folks might understand you, ale le
By and by, ale le go
Move on up
And keep on wishing
Remember your dreams
Are your only schemes
So keep on pushing
Tche tche koule
Tche tche kofissa
Kofissa langa
Langa ti langa
Tche tche koule
Tche tche kofissa
Kofissa langa
Langa ti langa
(o) walo ile babawa o - walo ile omon africa
(o) walo ile babawa o - walo ile omon africa
Take nothing less ,ale le but the second best,ale le go
Do not obey -you must keep your say,ale le
You can past the test,ale le go
Just move on up!
To a greater day
But just a little faith
If you put your mind to it
You can surely do it
Tche tche koule
Tche tche kofissa
Kofissa langa
Langa ti langa
Tche tche koule
Tche tche kofissa
Kofissa langa
Langa ti langa
(o) walo ile babawa o - walo ile omon africa
(o) walo ile babawa o - walo ile omon africa
Just move on up, we move on up, just move on up,
Watch out ,we just move on up,we move on up, move up
