[Rafiki:] There's a place where the crazy moon Makes the monkeys sing and the baboons swoon And the sultry scent of the lotus bloom Will carry you away
Where the hippos swing from the jungle vines And the rhino rhumba in a conga line And the pink flamingoes are intertwined As the stars come out to play
In Upendi Where the passionfruit grows sweet And it's so divine That you lose your mind As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi Without a worry or a care It just takes two To make it true Your heart will lead you there
You better watch your step 'cause the path is steep Better hold your breath cause the water's deep It's a long way down over Lovers' Leap But falling's half the fun!
In Upendi Where the passionfruit grows sweet And it's so divine That you lose your mind As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi Without a worry or a care It just takes two To make it true Your heart will take you there
You can beat the bush like there's no tomorrow From Tanganyika to Kilimanjaro But you'll find Upendi wherever you are Oh underneath the sun
[Chorus:] In Upendi Where the passionfruit grows sweet And it's so divine That you lose your mind As it sweeps you off your feet
In Upendi Without a worry or a care It just takes two To make it true Your heart will take you there [Kiara:] Upendi!
