Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From Athlone to Rylands,
The summer air is sweet,
Gatesville is alive tonight,
With music in the street.
From Crawford down to Lansdowne,
The colours fill the road,
Bonteheuwel is dancing,
Everybody's in the mode.
Klipfontein Road is glowing,
Hanover Street is bright,
The whole Cape Flats is moving,
Under summer lights tonight.
From Wetton into Belhar,
The rhythm carries on,
Cape Town's getting ready,
Till the early morning sun.
[Pre-Chorus]
From the Flats to Table Mountain,
Feel that summer in the air,
Aweh, the drums are calling,
Lekker vibes are everywhere!
Jol, jol, Cape Town jol!
Jol, jol, let the good times roll!
Aweh! Aweh! Here we go!
Kaapstad, make the whole place glow!
Jol, jol, Cape Town jol!
Hands up high, let the rhythm roll!
Sharp sharp, everybody move,
Kaapstad, show them how we groove!
[Chorus]
Kaapstad, Kaapstad, let the music play,
Summer in the Cape, we're celebrating today.
Drums are beating, trumpets calling,
Hear the people singing, hear the music rolling.
Kaapstad, Kaapstad, colours in the sky,
From the Cape Flats to the mountain, let the good times fly.
Everybody dance together,
It's the festive season,
Now and forever!
[Verse 2]
From Mitchells Plain to Strandfontein,
The summer breeze is warm,
People filling up the streets,
And the rhythm carries on.
From Woodlands into Manenberg,
The music starts to rise,
Brass bands shining in the sun,
Like fireworks in the skies.
From Heideveld to Kewtown,
The beat is getting strong,
When the drums begin to roll,
Everybody sings along.
From Lavender Hill to Steenberg,
The whole Cape is alive,
Everybody's feeling good,
And keeping the spirit high.
[Pre-Chorus]
From the Flats to Table Mountain,
Feel that summer in the air,
Aweh, the drums are calling,
Lekker vibes are everywhere!
Jol, jol, Cape Town jol!
Jol, jol, let the good times roll!
Aweh! Aweh! Here we go!
Kaapstad, make the whole place glow!
Jol, jol, Cape Town jol!
Hands up high, let the rhythm roll!
Sharp sharp, everybody move,
Kaapstad, show them how we groove!
[Chorus]
Kaapstad, Kaapstad, let the music play,
Summer in the Cape, we're celebrating today.
Drums are beating, trumpets calling,
Hear the people singing, hear the music rolling.
Kaapstad, Kaapstad, colours in the sky,
From the Cape Flats to the mountain, let the good times fly.
Everybody dance together,
It's the festive season,
Let the good times roll!
[Verse 3]
From Salt River to Woodstock,
The city starts to glow,
District Six remembers,
As the summer rhythms flow.
Buitenkant Street is shining,
The lights are everywhere,
Long Street keeps on moving,
With music in the air.
From Bo-Kaap down to the Foreshore,
The summer night is warm,
Cape Town wears her colours,
And the party carries on.
Green Point to Sea Point,
The ocean breeze comes through,
But nothing sounds like Cape Town
When the brass bands start to move.
[Pre-Chorus]
From the Flats to Table Mountain,
Feel that summer in the air,
Aweh, the drums are calling,
Lekker vibes are everywhere!
Jol, jol, Cape Town jol!
Jol, jol, let the good times roll!
Aweh! Aweh! Here we go!
Kaapstad, make the whole place glow!
Jol, jol, Cape Town jol!
Hands up high, let the rhythm roll!
Sharp sharp, everybody move,
Kaapstad, show them how we groove!
[Chorus]
Kaapstad, Kaapstad, let the music play,
Summer in the Cape, we're celebrating today.
Drums are beating, trumpets calling,
Hear the people singing, hear the music rolling.
Kaapstad, Kaapstad, colours in the sky,
From the Cape Flats to the mountain, let the good times fly.
Everybody dance together,
It's the festive season,
Now and forever!
[Verse 4]
From Kensington to Maitland,
The festive lights are bright,
Elsies River's singing,
Underneath the stars tonight.
Goodwood keeps it moving,
Parow joins the sound,
Bellville brings the family,
And the rhythm goes around.
From Voortrekker Road to Delft,
The summer night is alive,
Khayelitsha joins the rhythm,
And the whole Cape comes alive.
From Philippi to Mfuleni,
The music carries far,
One beat across the city,
Underneath the summer stars.
[Pre-Chorus]
From the Flats to Table Mountain,
Feel that summer in the air,
Aweh, the drums are calling,
Lekker vibes are everywhere!
Jol, jol, Cape Town jol!
Jol, jol, let the good times roll!
Aweh! Aweh! Here we go!
Kaapstad, make the whole place glow!
Jol, jol, Cape Town jol!
Hands up high, let the rhythm roll!
Sharp sharp, everybody move,
Kaapstad, show them how we groove!
[Chorus]
Kaapstad, Kaapstad, let the music play,
Summer in the Mother City, we're celebrating today.
Drums are beating, trumpets calling,
Hear the people singing, hear the music rolling.
Kaapstad, Kaapstad, colours in the sky,
From the Cape Flats to the mountain, let the good times fly.
Everybody dance together,
It's the festive season,
Let the good times roll!
