What are the lyrics to it's a long way to mukumbura?

Answer 1

It's a long way to Mukumbura

It's a long way to jaw

It's long long way from your home town

But you can have yourself a ball,

If you must go,

Goodbye to Bulawayo, Totsiens Cecil Square

It's a Long, Long way to Mukumbura

And we're going up there to stir

It's a long way to Choc Inyanga

It's a long way, that's clear

It's a long way from Umtali

But it's wide tar all the way,

Well, nearly,

Goodbye to the Cecil

And now the Mount Claire

It's a long, long way to Choc Inyanga

And the soldiers fighting there.

It's a long way to Kariba

It's a long way to run

It's a long way from Mukute

But you can do it on your tum,

With your FN,

We love our Sergeant Major

When he drives it on RL

When he takes us on the bush road

It's just like going to -

Heaven, I'm in Heaven

It's a long way Llewelyn

It's a long way on the train

We can kwai it to the North Pole

But they'd build one just the same.

The parade square.

Sorry, guys, I lose the next line or two after that. I wasn't in the army. Anyone else catch it?

One of the best songs ever, though.
