KALAKUTA SHOW

Make we talk something
We never talk before and
We dey see am everyday
(Ahh...Ohhh...Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh)

Look de man he dey waka
GAGA GUGU GAGA GUGU

Hungry dey run for him face
WOKO WOKO WOKO WOKO
[repeat]

Him pepeye cap for him head
PEPE PEPE PEPE PEPE
[repeat]

Him khaki woolen shirt for him body
WULU WULU WULU WULU

Him trouser dey fly above him knee
YAYA YAYA YAYA YAYA
[repeat]

The people wey employ da man
Give him permit to carry the thing

Dem give him permit to carry tear-gas
Dem give him permit to carry bullet
Him fit carry basket for protection too
Na so we dey see am every day
No so he dey happen every day
