Come To Me All You Rats In My Granary

come to me all rats in my granary
I have a feast for you
husks and shells of groundnuts
but after though beating

you live in shelter without renting
eat fresh food without permission
sewerage system you use freely
lay down your belly for caning

Come you rats in my granary
line up and make your statement
Tell me why you deserve no beating

you eat food for my children
then thank me by mixing it with refuse!
