This should be your last resort
CC BY-NCImagine a place so definitely friendly
Even oceans greet at nature's assembly
Something alive here in the heart of the city
But there's still Untold stories what a pity
And the inexperience stories you heard
Oh what shame by reebecks beard
A cape town story is meaningless unlived
Like the glass of water you never lift
Heres a little something to kwench the thirst
We call it lekker learn the language first
From the koeksister to the dhaltjie
the Culture remains in the recipe
Cultures not stolen but inherited identity
The greenery scenery creates a serenity
Big 5 the hippo and giraffes our pride
The African plate has alot to offer it hide
And inside we can hear the zulu,Xhosa,boer and malay
I can list them all but it will take all day
Rather come and take a seat and seek
The January beat the waves that greet
At the Baxter theater and beaches
Mzansi better than what holly features
