Swaheto Woman by David Johansen Lyrics

Swaheto woman
Don't drag your head down on the ground
Swaheto woman
You must stand up and you must be proud
'Cause your day gonna soon come
Swaheto woman so pretty and young
Your day shall come girl, your day shall come

Swaheto woman
You work so hard in every day
Swaheto woman
You got no time left at night to play
But soon your day gonna come
Swaheto woman so pretty and young
You shall be free girl, you shall be free

Your world it seems to spin around and around
But it's a spiral spinning deeper into the ground

Swaheto woman
You got to hold on to your dreams
Swaheto woman
You got to scheme and scheme and scheme
Swaheto woman
Soon the whole world'll know where your from
Swaheto woman
And now your song it will be sung
Say!

Now there's a woman
And she's got the biggest eyes that you've ever seen
Beautiful woman
And there ain't a thing that she hasn't seen
And with a silver spoon in her mouth
Sooner or later got to take it out
Put it in yours girl and start to begin

You can't go on this way for the rest of your life
To tired to dance in the night and afraid of the dawn, the light

Swaheto woman
You got to come on out tonight
Swaheto woman
You got to shout 'til you make it right
Swaheto woman
You got to hold your head up high
Swaheto woman
Come dry your eyes, girl don't cry
Swaheto woman
You gotta come dance in the light
Swaheto woman
You gonna strike such a stunning sight
Beautiful woman
Now there's a woman
Beautiful woman
Now there's a woman
Beautiful woman
Now there's a woman
Swaheto woman
