amazin’ man lyrics
[idi – spoken]
okay, right now, here we goin’ again from de top. now dis time the first violins, uh, i want you to plug, uh, plug de instruments into de gas main because, uh, i’m not gettin’ de sound i am liking

and de wives who are forming the backing group, uh, you come ’round to de front of me where i can keep my eye on you. that’s better

now here we are goin’. stop, now, stop now when i am tellin’… listen! stop! shut up! thank you

now, i am counting you in with the well-known counting tings. here we go
one
two
…
(ooh no, what come after two?)
…
five

[chorus]
idi, idi, idi amin
most amazin’ man there’s ever been
he de general, de president
he king of the scene
idi, idi, idi amin

[idi – verse]
look at the history, it packed with men
what risin’ to de top an’ gettin’ chopped again
no-one fathomin’ de secret of de whole d-mn ting
you got to give the population something to sing
[chorus]
idi, idi, idi amin
most amazin’ man there’s ever been
he de general, de president
he king of the scene
idi, idi, idi amin

[idi – verse]
take hitler, stalin, atilla the nun
no-one got a good word for a single one
where these first-class g*niuses all goin’ wrong?
they never got the population singing along

[chorus]
idi, idi, idi amin
most amazin’ man there’s ever been
he de general, de president
he king of the scene
idi, idi, idi amin

[idi – spoken]
listen! would de world-famous kampala glee club mind keeping in de d-mn background? what de h-ll goin’ on here? it lookin’ like some kind of musical coup to me! [fires gunshot] that’s better. three people more than enough for a quartet anyhow

[chorus, now one singer down]
idi, idi, idi amin
most amazin’ man there’s ever been
he de general, de president
he king of the scene
idi, idi, idi amin
[idi – verse]
a modern leader got to twist and shout
gotta tell de people “let it all hang out”
if you don’t want to vanish with a boot up de bum
you got to give the population something to hum

[chorus, trio]
idi, idi, idi amin
most amazin’ man there’s ever been
[idi] you’re still crowding the star! [fires two gunshots]
[chorus, now solo]
he de general, de president
he king of the scene
idi, idi, idi amin

[idi – spoken]
hmmm, that a pretty good voice you got there. that voice possibly takin’ you right to de top of de charts. yes sir, ma’am, every chance you gettin’ to de number one spot on the uganda hit parade with a voice like that. you could be the next engelbert bassey. you could be the new zulu. [fires gunshot] pity de world only needin’ one new star, really

[chorus, now just idi]
idi, idi, idi amin
most amazin’ man de world has seen
i de general, de president
de king of the scene
idi, idi, idi amin

oh, dis chorus singin’ a piece of cake!
let’s go now
[spoken whilst ad-libbing his name repeatedly]
listen to de falsetto goin’ there
not another black man get that far up, you know
don’t forget de name there folks
how i love the sound of it
who wrote de lyrics to this, it’s poetry!
go, take it away! no, takin’ it back
what is it about that name i like, i don’t know!
what do you mean de recording time is broke out? that’s rubbish! listen, i own dis place!
keep on goin’ there, lads!
