Meggy: Sure. Mario, come over here.

(Mario came to Meggy and started to sing "Africa".)

Mario: I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation.
Meggy: She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation.
Mario: I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies.
Meggy: He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you".

Mario and Meggy: It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
I bless the rains down in Africa.
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh).

(William, Futaba, and Cristina held them singing, as they came over to see the rest of the performance.)

Mario: The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company.
Meggy: I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
Mario: I seek to cure what's deep inside,
Meggy: Frightened of this thing that I've become.

Mario and Meggy: It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
I bless the rains down in Africa.
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh).

Mario and Meggy; Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you.
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
I bless the rains down in Africa.
I bless the rains down in Africa.
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain).
I bless the rains down in Africa.
I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, gonna take the time).
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh).

(William, Futaba, and Cristina cheered for them.)

William: I knew you two would sing great!

Futaba: You sing beautifully, Meggy!

Cristina: You too, Mario!

Mario: Thanks, guys.

Meggy: We're wonderful singers, aren't we, Mario?

Mario: We sure are, Meggy.
