Oh, [Eb] I'm all wrapped up.
[Ab]
[Fm] You [Eb] see, everybody, hello!
[Fm] [Eb]
Igam Olam, Ngo Pamela, [Ab] but you can call [Fm] me Sis Pam.
[Eb]
Way from the tram stop,
[Fm] all the way to Soweto, [Eb]
looking for my husband, Udunol.
We last [Ab] saw Udunol [Fm] when he walked outside [Eb] the door to say,
Pam, I'm going to get a packet of [Ab] cigarettes.
[Fm] He [Eb] didn't come back.
When was that?
Can you guess?

The [Ab] email said, [Fm] my [Bb] darling wife, [Fm] [Eb] I [Fm] have been gone for a little [Bb] while, [Eb] but if you want to find me, go to number [Fm] 6336 in Soweto.
[Bb]
[Eb] I looked in the yellow pages for a bus [Ab] to take me [Bb] directly there.
I [Eb] went all the way.
All the way.
[Ab] All the [Bb] way.
[Eb] All the way.
To number 6336.
[Ab] It was a big house on the hill.
Big [Eb] land beyond one thousand eighteen.
Go on, go on, go on.
Go [Fm] on, go on, [Bb] go on.
[Eb]
[Fm] To number 6336.
[Bb]
[Eb] Out came a lady.
[G]
Very beautifully.
[Ab] Modern kind of [D] lady.
[Eb] I said, please, sweet cakes.
[F] I'm looking for my husband, but [Bb] no, [Eb] he said he was here.
[Ab] Describe him, she said, oh, [Bb] with [E] pleasure.
[Bb] [Eb] [G] My husband is a very tall, [Eb] handsome guy.
[Ab] With a big [Bb] afro,
[Eb] juicy, juicy lips.
[Fm] And very skinny legs.
[Bb]
[Eb]
[G] [Abm] That to me, like that Celine [Bb] Dion song, [Eb] you know.
He was here.
[G] [Ab] But he was not [Eb] alone.
[Bb]
[Eb] As I described this kind of person, he was with me, so I can [Ab] see with my own poor eyes.

[Eb] Well, what she [Ab] told me, [A] [Bb]
[Bbm] [Eb] I didn't know if I could believe it.
[Ab] Can you come a little bit closer, [Bb] please?
[Eb] She said to me, [Fm] this person he was [Db] with [Eb] was a woman.
But not just a woman.
You know her [Db] very well.
[Bb] She is your auntie [Eb] Zodwa.
She
[Ab] used [C] to put me in the [Bb] bathroom.
[Eb]
[Bb] [Ab] She said, that's not [Bb] if you just go over there and down [Eb] the hill and around that corner.
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm] You know, it's [Ab] very sad when a family [F] member [Cm] deserts you like [Bb] that.
[Eb] So I went to that house that she described.
[Fm] I went to stand in front of that door.
[Bb] Making landy [Eb] and gongos and eating gongos.
[Fm] Gongos.
[Bb]
[Eb] Eating gongos.
I'm
