Anyone have official lyrics? I'm missing something and an intensive web search yields nothing:
Africa we want to go
Land that we want to know
Where _______ grass and plenty fruits grow
I've been listening carefully at 1:05 and can't quite catch it. Not a lot of "green" grass in Africa, so I don't think that's it. Sounds more like "Pink" or "Bean" but those don't make sense to me... I could be wrong.

I think Is Green grass
drumbago
It's green grass.
