I went down to Cape Town, Kaapstad town
Cute li'l cousin there, show me around
We were walking there by Gardens, said, better beware
The Houses of Parliament's just over there
I could hear screaming and shouting from above
Disturbing the trees and the Garden's doves
verse 2
Said, cuz we have to go there, to this sight
When we got there we had a hell of a fright
'Cause there was Juju running his mouth off once again
Police were in the chamber, there was a hell of a din
The Speaker was crying to the heavens above
Shivambu gave the finger to Zuma with love
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! The House of Parliament blues
verse 3
Don't take your time and trouble to get your relief
Paid all your taxes to a common thief
Forget about decorum and a motion passed
If you're sitting with the opposition, you'll see your arse
With all the ducking and diving that goes on
They'll be throwing their weight in punches before too long
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! The House of Parliament blues
verse 4
So if you go to Cape Town, Kaapstad tiown
Avoid the House of Parley, it'll only bring you down
Rather buy a milkshake at the Garden Café
Keep a healthy distance, turn your ears away
Or you'll hear that swearing and shouting from above
Disturbing the trees and the Garden's doves
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup)
Voetsek, shutup! The House of Parliament
Those Houses of Parliament
The House of Parliament blues
