Jozi Voter Dreamin'

All the thumbs are out

(thumbs are out)

Turning purple today

(turning purple today)

I've been out to vote

(I’ve been out to vote)

On this winter's day

(on this winter's day)

The long lines we form

(long lines we form)

And rain won’t keep us away

(rain won’t keep us away)

Jozi voter dreamin'

(Jozi voter dreamin')

On such a 'portant day

Stopped in at station

I thought I knew my way

But then I began to freeze

(began to freeze)

And then I started to pray

(started to pray)

You know the parties new and old

(new and old)

saying change is on the way

(change is on the way)

Jozi voter dreamin’

On such a 'portant day

Who’s gonna take the crown?

(Who’s gonna take the crown?)

Red, purple, blue or grey?

(Red, purple, blue or grey?)

Julius or Aunty Pat?

(Julius or Aunty Pat)

Mmusi, Cyril or Pillay?

(Kanthan Pillay)

But in the end it’s easy

(In the end it’s easy)

I’m gonna have my say

(I’m gonna have my say)
