IDI AMIN ~ AMAZIN' MAN

Taken from "De collected broadcasts of Idi Amin" by John Bird released 1975, Politically incorrect today, but very funny all the same. OK. Right now, here we goin' again from de top. An' this time, de first violin, er, I want you to plug de instruments into, er, into de gas main, because, er, I'm not getting de sound I am liking. An' the wives what am forming de backing group, let, er, you come round to the front of me where I can keep my eye on you. Dat better. Right now, here we are going. Stop now. Stop now when i am telling you! LISTEN, STOP! SHUT UP! Thank you. Now, I am counting you in with de well-known counting things. Here we go. One, two ... Oh, no! What come after two? ............Five! Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, most amazin' man, there's ever been. He's de general, de president, de king of the scene, Idi, Idi, Idi Amin. Look at the history, it packed with men, Wot rising to the top and getting chopped again No one fathoming de secret of the whole damn thing. You got to give de population something to sing! Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, most amazin' man, there's ever been. He de general, de president, de king of the scene, Idi, Idi, Idi Amin. Take Hitler, Stalin, Attilla de Nun, No one got a good word for a single one. Where these first-class geniuses all goin' wrong, They never got de population singing along. Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, most amazin' man, there's ever been. He's de general, de president, de king of the scene, Idi, Idi, Idi Amin. Listen, would de world-famous Kampala Glee Club mind keeping in de damn background? What de hell goin' on here? It looking like some kind of musical coup to me. Dat better. Three people more than enough for a quartet anyhow. Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, most amazin' man, there's ever been. He's de general, de president, de king of the scene, Idi, Idi, Idi Amin. A modern leader gotta twist and shout, Got tell the people let it all hang out. If you don't want to vanish with a boot up the bum, You gotta give the population something to hum. "You still crowding the star!", Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, most amazin' man, there's ever been. He's de general, de president, de king of the scene, Idi, Idi, Idi Amin. Hmm, that a pretty good voice you got there. That voice possibly taking you right to de top of de charts. Yes, sir, ma'am, every chance you getting to the number one spot on de Uganda hit parade with a voice like dat. You could be de next Englebert Bassey! You could be de new Zulu! Pity, de world only needin' one new star really. Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, the most amazin' man de world has seen, I de general, de president, de king of the scene, Idi, Idi, Idi Amin. This chorus singin' a piece of cake! Let's go now! Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, Wow wow, Idi, Idi, Idi Amin... Listen to the falsetto goin' there! Not often a black man get that far up, you know. Idi Amin, Idi Amin, Idi Amin, Idi, Idi Amin, Idi... Don't forget the name there, folks! IdiAminIdiAmin... How I love the sound of it! Idi Amin, Idi Amin. Ooh, Idi, Idi Amin, Idi AminIdiAmin...?
