See the lions from my ferrari
Hope we do not get the malari
It's safari time

Many nice suprises
Are waiting in the jungle
Girlie oh Girlie

So if you don't wanna come

Playing with his parrot

The chickens and the monkeys
So if you don't wanna come
I will go anyway
We are going on a safari

Dr. Bombay's "Safari" is a silly, lighthearted song about going on a safari adventure. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, emphasizing the excitement of seeing wild animals from the comfort of a Ferrari. The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the singer expressing excitement for the impending adventure while acknowledging the danger of malaria. The chorus repeats the opening lines with enthusiasm, punctuated by a shout of "It's safari time" at the end.
The second verse expands on the wonders that await on the safari, listing "goatees," chickens, and monkeys as examples of the animals that will be seen. The chorus repeats before a brief bridge in which the singer recalls visiting an uncle and playing with his parrot. The final chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the excitement of the adventure and the fun of the holiday.
Overall, the song is a fun and upbeat celebration of travel and adventure. It doesn't take itself too seriously, instead reveling in the joy of exploring new places and seeing new things.
