Well, there's an uprising down on watusi street And the witch doctor don't know what to think! Well, the big chief says it isn't so They get dressed up, messed up, ready to go And the natives are restless The natives are restless tonight! Yeah, they're doin' a dance no one's ever seen, And they're barbecuin' real human beans! They pick their teeth with porcupine And wash you down with jungle wine! Ooh, the natives are restless The natives are restless tonight! (mmm, wanna bite?) Well, in the heat of the city, it's hard to be cool, You don't wanna do nothin' too terri-bool But in my neighborhood, there's somethin' you should know When the drum beat starts, it's time to go! Ooh, the natives are restless The natives are restless tonight! Tonight! Tonight!
