My Gele

Tomorrow is the 
  wedding
Who will tie my gele?
For the wedding of the
  morning
My gele is the 'aso ebi'
  that was...
Chosen for the wedding
Bags and shoes to match

Tomorrow is the wedding
My gele must announce...
Announce my arrival.
Tie it well, let Lehigh
Higher than my in-laws
Higher than my Pastor's 
  wife.
