Nancy Steele has been kind enough to send us the lyrics, arrangement, and a link to a YouTube video performance of it by “Musanga Marimba” directed by Ric Alviso—who taught them “Waka Waka” at
Zimfest 2013. Below is the link to the video, as well as the lyrics and arrangement. Take a look if you have a chance before Wednesday!
