Jan van der Merwe when he was very young
He got abducted by a big Bobjan
He was playing in the field all alone under a tree
And the Bobjan took him and said come with me
 
Jan was scared he said: "Ag please Bobjan
take me back to my father, I am his only son"
But the Bobjan laughed and said: "Ag please,
I will be your father you will come with me"
 
You will eat like a Bobjan
Drink like a Bobjan
Sleep like a real Bobjan
You will cry like a Bobjan
Love like a Bobjan
Run like a real Bobjan
You will fight like a Bobjan
Shout like a Bobjan
Sing like a real Bobjan
And if anybody ask: "What is your name?"
You will say your name is Bobjan
 
Jan was crying everyday
He was wanting to go back home
But the Bobjan said he must stop to cry
He must not be so alone
 
He must play and sing with the other Bobjan
He will see they are all very nice
He must eat the banana
He must climb in the tree
He must catch for him some lice
 
You will eat like a Bobjan
Drink like a Bobjan
Sleep like a real Bobjan
You will cry like a Bobjan
Love like a Bobjan
Run like a real Bobjan
You will fight like a Bobjan
Shout like a Bobjan
Sing like a real Bobjan
And if anybody ask: "What is your name?"
You will say your name is Bobjan
 
One day Jan was sitting in a tree
Still wanting to go back home
He was missing his father
He was missing his mother
He was missing his best friend Jo
 
And the Bobjan said: "Hey Jan my son, it's time for you to go"
"You are missing your father,
You are missing your mother, you're missing your best friend Jo"
 
You will eat like a Bobjan
Drink like a Bobjan
Sleep like a real Bobjan
You will cry like a Bobjan
Love like a Bobjan
Run like a real Bobjan
You will fight like a Bobjan
Shout like a Bobjan
Sing like a real Bobjan
And if anybody ask: "What is your name?"
You will say your name is Bobjan
 
Jan was happy, but also sad
He was leaving his friends behind
He was starting to feel like a real Bobjan
In his body and in his mind
 
He was running back home like a real Bobjan
With his hands and his feets on the ground
Shouting and crying like a real Bobjan
With a real Bobjan sound
 
You will eat like a Bobjan
Drink like a Bobjan
Sleep like a real Bobjan
You will cry like a Bobjan
Love like a Bobjan
Run like a real Bobjan
You will fight like a Bobjan
Shout like a Bobjan
Sing like a real Bobjan
And if anybody ask: "What is your name?"
You will say your name is Bobjan
 
Back home his mother and his father is stressed
Their son is a diffrent man
He eats like a Bobjan
Drinks like a Bobjan
Sleeps like a real Bobjan can
 
And they ask him son: "What is your name?"
And he says my name is Bobjan
And they say no, son your name is "Jan"
No, my name is Bobjan
 
I will eat like a Bobjan
Drink like a Bobjan
Sleep like a real Bobjan
I will cry like a Bobjan
Love like a Bobjan
Run like a real Bobjan
I will fight like a Bobjan
Shout like a Bobjan
Sing like a real Bobjan
And if anybody ask me what is my name
I will say my name is Bobjan
 
Now Jan is working 9 to 5
In a office in Jo'burg East
He also have a wife and lots of kids
And every time they have a feast
Jan's wife, she asks him nice: "Please behave tonight"
Then he says: "My wife, I'm a man in my heart, but a Bobjan in my mind"
 
I will eat like a Bobjan
Drink like a Bobjan
Sleep like a real Bobjan
I will cry like a Bobjan
Love like a Bobjan
Run like a real Bobjan
I will fight like a Bobjan
Shout like a Bobjan
Sing like a real Bobjan
And if anybody ask me what is my name
I will say my name is Bobjan
