New Zimbabwe Constanza

You can all breathe now Zimbabwe 
Rejoice freedom from repression 
lift yourselves out of depression,

new president, no wannabe 
so democratize your Country
repulse anything contrary 

be pleased, say goodbye to Bobby
he has had it too good, too long
those hard years all terrible wrongs,

rule with fear is surely shoddy
so enjoy, sing, dance and party
now start your new lives, be hearty,

worlds much better without Mugabe
this evil man of ill repute 
who no one will ever dispute,

you can all breathe now Zimbabwe  
new president, no wannabe
be pleased, say goodbye to Bobby
rule with fear is surely shoddy
worlds much better without Mugabe.
