A grumpy YouTube viewer slammed the performance:
This is the Pata Pata...
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
Every Friday and Saturday Night
It’s Pata Pata time!
The dance keeps going all night long
Til’ the morning sun begins to shine!
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
[etc etc]
It’s Pata Pata time!
The dance keeps going all night long
Til’ the morning sun begins to shine!
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...

But Gawlo interprets the 1957 song exactly as conceived and sung by Makeba: It's time to party and forget everything else. Here's the English translation of the lyrics:
Pata Pata (Touch Touch)
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
This is the Pata Pata...
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
That’s it, lady!
This is the Pata Pata…
Pata Pata is the name of the dance
We do down Johannesburg way
And everybody starts to move
As soon as Pata Pata starts to play
So we grooved and said: "Check it out!"
