Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Sun dey shine for Eko (Eko!) Dust dey dance for my toe (my toe!) Stranger man walkin' slow (walkin' slow) Smilin' like he really know (he know!) Woven bag on his side With a walk full of pride He stop me for the corner Like a long-lost owner [Pre-Chorus] He open the jute bag wide (so wide) See the treasures inside (inside) Fresh coconut for the heat Highlife tapes for the beat Old labels turnin' gold Stories waitin' to be told [Chorus] Highlife in the jute bag (bag) Coconut in the jute bag (bag) Lagos coast feelin' fine Sweet like palm-wine Dance till the sun go down Happiest people in town Highlife in the jute bag (bag) Coconut in the jute bag (bag) [Post-Chorus] Oya shake it (shake it) Oya take it (take it) Highlife magic (magic) Never tragic (tragic) [Verse] Victor Olaiya on the deck (the deck) Put some respect on the neck (the neck) Guitar soundin' like a stream Life is lookin' like a dream We crack the shell on the stone Best taste I ever known White meat sweet for the tongue Feel like we forever young [Pre-Chorus] He open the jute bag wide (so wide) See the treasures inside (inside) Fresh coconut for the heat Highlife tapes for the beat Old labels turnin' gold Stories waitin' to be told [Chorus] Highlife in the jute bag (bag) Coconut in the jute bag (bag) Lagos coast feelin' fine Sweet like palm-wine Dance till the sun go down Happiest people in town Highlife in the jute bag (bag) Coconut in the jute bag (bag) [Bridge] Talking drum start to speak (speak) Make your knees gettin' weak (weak) No need for plenty money When the vibe is so sunny From the beach to the street Move your soul and your feet Ancient magic in the weave Something you gidi believe [Hook] It’s the rhythm of the coast It’s the thing I love the most Coconut and the tape There is no escape From the joy in the air Music everywhere [Chorus] Highlife in the jute bag (bag) Coconut in the jute bag (bag) Lagos coast feelin' fine Sweet like palm-wine Dance till the sun go down Happiest people in town Highlife in the jute bag (bag) Coconut in the jute bag (bag) [Post-Chorus] Oya shake it (shake it) Oya take it (take it) Highlife magic (magic) Never tragic (tragic) [Outro]
