Passengers to Abuja and N'Djamena
The boarding will be through Gate Number 24 upstairs.)
They, put it on the table
And scrambled
And that was just
A preamble
New names chosen like Scrabble
A cake so big
So, ample
Slices
Reserved for sire
Around the table
Sits squires
Gardens guarded with barbed wire
And the servant
Is also the supplier, hm!
Pot belly
Pockets empty
Land of plenty
Let them eat money
Milk and honey
A-Grade funny
Not so funny
Not so funny
Rom-comedy
With bad endings
Non-fiction story
Fiction earnings
Biography
With fantasy yearnings
Separate property
But colourful weddings
Everybody
Wants a piece of
Africa!
Afrika!
Everybody
Wants a piece of
Africa!
Afrika!
Everybody
Wants a piece of
Africa!
Afrika!
Everybody
Wants a piece of
Africa!
Afrika!
Shining
Like Hugh on the cornet
Gentle giant
Fly like hornets
Subtle Space Age
No need a rocket
I feel like, earth is where it all connects
Imagine if
Air had to
Give no damn
Or the sun
Didn't show up
Said I'm done
Or the waters
Where locked
And you had to buy water
And earth
May never crumble
But you wonder
'Bout the concrete jungle
