Lyrics
Hey! Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela. Once again now! Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela. Five hundred dollars, friends, I lost: Woman even sell me cat and horse! Heya! Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela. Everybody! (Matilda,) Sing out the chorus, (Matilda,) Sing a little louder, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela. Once again now! (Matilda,) Going 'round the corner, (Matilda,) Sing out the chorus, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela. Well, the money was to buy me house an' lan' Then she got a serious plan, A-hey, ah! Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela. Everybody! (Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) Once again now! (Matilda,) Going 'round the corner, (Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) Well, the money was just inside me bed, Stuck up in a pillow beneath me head. Don't you know, Matilda, she found me money and... Everybody... (Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) Once again now! (Matilda,) Hooma locka chimba, (Matilda,) Bring me little water, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela. Women over forty? (Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) Everybody! (Matilda,) Goin' round the corner, (Matilda,) Bring me little water, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela. Well, me friends, never to love again, All me money gone in vain! Uh, heya... Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela. Everybody! (Matilda, Matilda,) Oom, ba-locka-chimba! (Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) Sing a little softer! (Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) EVERYBODY! (Matilda, Matilda,) Sing out the chorus! Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela!
