Three Legged African Pot
Graeme Sacks & Erika Strydom

We’re making an African stew
In our three legged African pot
An iron pot as black as the night
We stir to the left and we stir to the right
We’re making an African stew
In our three legged African pot

We’re making a fire tonight
We’re making a fire so bright
We sit in a circle, feeling the glow
Our African stew is cooking so slow
In our three legged African pot,
In our three legged African pot

Chorus
One two three, One two three, Stir to the left
One two three, One two three, Stir to the right
Stir to the left, Stir to the right

We’re stirring our stew for supper tonight
In our three legged African pot,
In our three legged African pot

(instrumental)

We’re making an African stew
In our three legged African pot
We’re clapping and dancing and singing our song
We listen to stories of heroes so strong
The pot starts to boil, the foods almost done
Cooking our stew has been such great fun
In our three legged African pot,
In our three legged African pot

Chorus
One two three, One two three, Stir to the left
One two three, One two three, Stir to the right
Stir to the left, Stir to the right
We’re stirring our stew for supper tonight
In our three legged African pot
In our three legged African pot
...In our three legged African pot
