Injilli Injilli can I sing with you
About Mr Tembo
And what he’s got to do
But first I’m going back to the Colworth Road
To find the mission and help him with his load

Mr Tembo’s on his way up the hill
With only this song to tell you how he feels
But to get there he will need a helping hand
It’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he planned

Injilli Injilli we will sing with you
Just like the tv
In Mr Tembo’s room
Of the emphatic night he checked in on his own
At Mkomazi inn and made it his home

Mr Tembo’s on his way up the hill
With only this song to tell you how he feels
But to get there he will need a helping hand
It’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he planned
It’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he planned

Injilli Injilli we will sing to you
Bout Mr Tembo and what he’s going through
Gets up early while you are still in bed
Mr Tembo grey blanket by his head

Mr Tembo’s on his way up the hill
With only this song to tell you how he feels
But to get there he will need a helping hand
It’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he planned
It’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he planned

Man you take those lions off the front ……
Good god man have some …..
I’m trying to run this expedition in a decent manner

Logistics, haulage, golf, bungalow,
Spires, canals, cows, hay bales
Telegraph wires, pylon power, farmhouse oak, chimneys still used
Stones, satellite, football pitches, faded flags and lots of dogs
Neon cross on top of a block of flats
And a church not as usual

Mr Tembo’s on his way up the hill
With only this song to tell you how he feels

But to get there he will need a helping hand
It’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he planned
It’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he planned
