What was I doing down in Memphis
What was it drew me to the Nile
I heard a siren singing, that's all I knew
Then I saw you

Rosetta, Rosetta, Rosetta Stone
Rosetta, Rosetta, Rosetta Stone
Rosetta, Rosetta, Rosetta Stone
Taught me everything I know
Such a long time ago

Better than any course at Berlitz
Taught me the languages of love
What had been hidden, became so clear
When I held you near

(Chorus)

Shumba, shumba, shumba, shumba
In the desert sand
Shumba, shumba, shumba, shumba
More than just my heart in her hands
