Matilda, Matilda lyrics

Hey, Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela
Once again now
Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela
Five hundred dollars, friends I lost
Woman even sell me cat and horse
Hey, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela

Everybody
(Matilda)
Sing out the chorus
(Matilda)
Sing a little louder
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela

Once again now
(Matilda)
Going 'round the corner
(Matilda)
Sing out the chorus
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela

Well, the money was to buy me house an' lan'
Then she got a serious plan, hey
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela

Everybody
(Matilda)
(Matilda)
(Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela)

Once again now
(Matilda)
Going 'round the corner
(Matilda)
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela)

Well, the money was just inside me bed
Stuck up in a pillow beneath me head
Don't you know
Matilda, she found me money and

Everybody
(Matilda)
(Matilda)

Once again now
(Matilda)
Hooma locka chimba
(Matilda)
Bring me little water
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela
Women over forty?

(Matilda)
(Matilda)
(Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela)

Everybody
(Matilda)
Goin' round the corner
(Matilda)
Bring me little water
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela

Well, me friends, never to love again
All me money gone in vain
Hey
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.

Everybody
(Matilda)

Oom, ba locka chimba

Sing a little softer

Everybody

(Matilda)
Sing out the chorus
Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela

Hey, Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela
Once again now
Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela
