Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa
(to "Quando, Quando, Quando")
So, it's not just Christmas time
Happy Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa
Getting presents is just fine
Not just Angola currency
Got no tree or holly wreath
Happy Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa
No mistletoe to stand beneath
But we got all our first fruits.
Celebrate for eight days
Every day just has a theme
Let me show you my maize
Or give you a brand new book.
Seven principals so bright
Happy Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa
Seven days of candle light
But it's not like Hanukkah!
