Lyrics
- Taken from the Isle of Zinga Loo
Captured by a mercenary crew
Sold into a circus
Where they work us and they work us
It’s a sad sad tale but true
Refrain
Zinga Zula, I’m the Zinga Zula man
Howling, prowling, growling
I’m creeping while you’re sleeping
If you hear me, fear me
I’m the wildest of the clan
I’ll greet you, then eat you
The savage little Zinga Zula man
2, Lots of people look at me and say
Why has he that wild and savage way?
But they know on learning
That I met my wife returning
From the country yesterday
