A Palma de Bimba

The clap was wrong
Bimba stopped again
Clap this right
Bimba's clap is one, two, three
Look at Bimba's clap

One, two, three (chorus)

If you are devoted to Bimba
In the roda he will help you
But if you're not, run away
The roda is open, and things will get rough
And Bimba's clap is one, two, three
Look at Bimba's clap

One, two, three

The verse was wrong
Bimba stopped again
Sing this verse right
Bimba's clap is one, two, three
Look at Bimba's clap

One, two, three

The iuna was wrong
Bimba spoke again
Don't kill this bird, kid
And Bimba's clap is one, two, three
Look at Bimba's clap

One, two, three

The ginga was wrong
Bimba stopped again
The ginga is beautiful, kid
And Bimba's clap is one, two, three
Look at Bimba's clap

One, two, three
