Padouk, PurezaWood’s newest species of hardwood flooring, is a beautiful, exotic wood from the plains of Africa. We decided to celebrate Padouk’s uniqueness through the majesty of song – specifically to the tune of “Africa” by Toto.
I’ll hear the house echoing tonight
Padouk absorbs whispers of a quiet conversation
It’s coming in, 12:30 delivery
The sunlit van reflects suppliers that guide me towards installation
I stopped at a tree along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient memories
The leaves rustled as if to say, “Hurry boy, Padouk’s waiting there for you”
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from Padouk
There’s nothing that a hundred hardwood oaks could ever do
I bless the woods down in Africa
Gonna take some time stain the floor we never had
The reddish-brown darkens in the light
This wood is hardest; Janka measurement of 2219
I know that I must do what’s right
My heart expands like solid wood in the humidity
I need engineered hardwood inside, proud of this thing my floor’s become
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from Padouk
There’s nothing that a hundred hardwood oaks could ever do
I bless the woods down in Africa
Gonna take some time to stain the floor we never had
Hurry boy, Padouk’s waiting there for you
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from Padouk
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the woods down in Africa
I bless the woods down in Africa
(I bless hardwood)
I bless the woods down in Africa
(I bless hardwood)
I bless the woods down in Africa
I bless the woods down in Africa
(Ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to stain the floor we never had…
