verse 1 
  E7 
I went down to Cape Town, Kaapstad town 

Cute li'l cousin there, show me around 
        A7 
We were walking there by Gardens, said, better beware 
    E7 
The Houses of Parliament's just over there 
        B7 
I could hear screaming and shouting from above 
   A7                        G        B7 
Disturbing the trees and the Garden's doves 


verse 2 
      E7 
Said, cuz we have to go there, to this sight 

When we got there we had a hell of a fright 
       A7 
'Cause there was Juju running his mouth off once again 
  E7 
Police were in the chamber, there was a hell of a din 
    B7 
The Speaker was crying to the heavens above 
   A7                       G         B7 
Shivambu gave the finger to Zuma with love 


[Refrão]
             E7 
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 

Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 
             A7 
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 
             E7 
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 
             B7               G          E7      B7 
Voetsek, shutup! The House of Parliament blues 

verse 3 
      E7 
Don't take your time and trouble to get your relief 

Paid all your taxes to a common thief 
   A7 
Forget about decorum and a motion passed 
          E7 
If you're sitting with the opposition, you'll see your arse 
     B7 
With all the ducking and diving that goes on 
           A7                                 G        B7 
They'll be throwing their weight in punches before too long 


[Refrão]
             E7 
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 

Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 
             A7 
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 
             E7 
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 
             B7               G          E7      B7 
Voetsek, shutup! The House of Parliament blues 

verse 4 
   E7 
So if you go to Cape Town, Kaapstad tiown 

Avoid the House of Parley, it'll only bring you down 
A7 
Rather buy a milkshake at the Garden Café 
E7 
Keep a healthy distance, turn your ears away 
          B7 
Or you'll hear that swearing and shouting from above 
   A7                        G        B7 
Disturbing the trees and the Garden's doves 


[Refrão]
             E7 
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 

Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 
             A7 
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 
             E7 
Voetsek, shutup! (voetsek, shutup, voetsek, shutup) 
             B7               G      
Voetsek, shutup! The House of Parliament 
     B7         G  
Those Houses of Parliament 
    B7       G     B7    E7 
The House of Parliament blues
