Oh Karibou, Karibou
I love your call
For every forgotten tune
You still sing along
Your sweet velvet voice
Like a flute in the dawn
Your record is one that’s worth hearing
Each track is my favorite
It’s too hard too choose
A slave to your voice, Karibou
Oh Karibou, lover
And painter of art
Impressionist expert
Of colors beyond
The canvas your city
The brushstroke your bond
Both my favorite painter and painting
Monet and Renoir don’t got nothin on you
My impression of you, Karibou
(Harmonica Break)
Oh Karibou, scholar
A brain like Einstein
If knowledge is power
Than you’re set for life
Unlike those of us who let history rewind
The owner of what you are thinking
You fight for the facts
That have made this world true
A wordsmith by name, Karibou
Karibou, Lover
I’ll stand by your side
When the rest follow gray
We select black and white
We speak the same language
Conversing in rhyme
No force can divorce what we’re making
Unlike the two timers and lovers they lose
We stay thick as thieves, Karibou
