    Story Behind the Song
    We tell the story of two deeply in love third-rate hustlers who try to go international with surreal and comical results. The sound is an attempt to put a bit of an "edge" on a World Beat theme. The introduction of a tribal hip-hop break and descending power chords towards the end helped us to achieve this.

    Lyrics
    WHENA WHENA

    Laid you down in
    Limbo,Limbo

    Left you with the
    Mambo, Mambo

    Watched you waiting tables in a
    Juke-joint in the Congo

    Livin' large in
    Lagos, Lagos

    Pushing up your
    Mytho,Mytho

    I gotta keep on praying
    Even though there is no sign of you

    What I give to you...

    Loosened up on
    Vino,Vino

    Spending all your
    Pesos, Pesos

    Looking back we know we should
    have never sent that cargo

    Wakin' up so
    Achy, Achy

    Rollin' out the
    Dicey, Dicey

    Hopin' that my hustle
    Will be enough to keep us in the flow

    What I give to you..
    Whena Whena the Sun sets
    What I give to you...
    Whena Whena my Soul flies


    Left me with the
    Jono, Jono,

    Shakin' off the
    Colo, Colo

    Tried to call your ex
    But she was meaner than a shotgun

    Chowing down on
    Mako, Mako

    Livin' rough in
    Soho, Soho

    The money meant so much more
    than we could ever know

    Chorus

    I givee Rastafari and
    I givee Ram Das
    Bukoo money for de Kaya
    Bukoo money for de sauce
    Chummy Chummy wi de Dutchy
    Chummy Chummy for de bail
    and some
    Yummy Yummy lovin' on de sly...

    I give to you...
    All of this and so much more

    CHORUS
