Here's a transaltion of the lyrics, courtesy Google's own 'What's that they're singing' translation service:
Oh man I got the blues so bad
I have to go to Tescos and get the shopping
We're nearly out of coffee, toothpaste and beans
I got my reusable carrier bag
Here we go!
Brightly coloured aisles and I've got piles
But it don't bother me
The clearance on the cam follower of a Trabant
Is precisely 63mm. In the morning
The noontime and the evening too
Wild honey grows all around me
And my baby's name is Debbie
Debbie of the laughing hair
Had a message saying insufficient funds
So she got the blues
Let's dance awhile
Chorus
Y'all wanted to know that didn't you?
Oh man I got the blues so bad
I have to go to Tescos and get the shopping
We're nearly out of coffee, toothpaste and beans
I got my reusable carrier bag
Here we go!
Brightly coloured aisles and I've got piles
But it don't bother me
The clearance on the cam follower of a Trabant
Is precisely 63mm. In the morning
The noontime and the evening too
Wild honey grows all around me
And my baby's name is Debbie
Debbie of the laughing hair

So she got the blues
Let's dance awhile
Chorus
Y'all wanted to know that didn't you?

n.b. the song was written in 1988
Afrikka tuo manner alla julman auringon
Tällä kertaa laulun aiheena on
Sieltä tulee nimittäin ihmisiä tummia
Nälissänsä kyselemään aivan kummia
Africa, a continent under the harsh sun
Is the topic of the current song
See, dark folks are coming thence
They're hungry arsking the weirdest things
"Luuletko että kitaraa soittamalla voi parantaa maailmaa"
"En tiedä onko näin, mutta ainakin soitan sitä oikein päin"
"Do you think you can make things better by playing the guitar"
"Dunno but at least I'm holding it the right way"
Massa on vielä massa Etelä-Afrikassa
Pitää kaivostrustia ja kusee silmään mustia
Jossain syödään lapsia ja neekerikin toteaa:
"Voi Afrikka tää on sarvikuonojen maa"
A massa's still a massa in South Africa
He tends a mine trust and screws up black folks
Kids get eaten somewhere and even negros say:
"Oh Africa, this is rhinoceros' land"
Tässä vaiheessa, laulun aiheessa, koittaa vaihe uus, kantaaottavuus
Väistyy tieltä sen erinomaisen tärkeän kysymyksen
At this stage, the song topic changes, a new stage, politics
Give way for the one extraordinarily important question
"Luuletko että kitaraa soittamalla voi parantaa maailmaa"
"En tiedä onko näin, mutta ainakin soitan sitä oikein päin"
"Do you think you can make things better by playing the guitar"
"Dunno but at least I'm holding it the right way"
Lisää vielä Afrikasta uutisia huonoja
Ei sielläkään ole kohta enää sarvikuonoja
Niitä savannilla ensin salaa ammutaan
Sitten sarvi kainalossa Nairobissa sammutaan
Yet more bad news from Africa
Soon there won't be any rhinos left there either
First the poachers shoot them in the Savannah
Then they pass out in Nairobi clutching the horns

I am dipping into the past with the Dave Brubeck Quartet and Take Five. I like a bit of that you know, cool jazz

Blimey psd99 that one takes me back to when I was doing lots of discos, that particular record takes me back to a 21st on the Isle Of Dogs.....
The 90's, imo, was really good for dance music.

CL, the address bar, on the Youtube page will usually appear like this:
Lastly, "top and tail" it with tags [ Youtube ] D_5V8We3hgg [ /Youtube ] ...(but with no spaces!)
In this instance one gets this:
