Fly On the Wall Contest

A fly on Oprah's wall.
I think I'll build an Oprah mall.
All of this money
And still no honey.
I'm bored, I think I'll buy Senegal.

Free-wheeling Through Africa

Just climb onto the back of my Harley
And we shall ride to the songs of Bob Marley,
   In no time at all
   We'll be in Senegal,
Though I might stop for lunch in Kigali.

God No Go Shame Us

God no go shame us 
I no fit shout 
But all I can say is 
Thank you God 

It you no dey  faithful
I no know as this world 
For ugly for son of Man 

I no fit Hala pass myself
Cos your Goodness 
And mercy sweet pass 
Mama ngozi jellof rice 

Even Senegal own 
No fit try you blessings
Upon my soul 

I no fit shout 
I no fit Hala 
Cos I know last last Baba 
God no go shame us

SAILING SENEGAL

If Senegal were a sailing boat
With masts new and strong
Ready to part the seas of Casamance
Gliding through waves in a trance.

It would set its course eastwards
Through the deep waters of Sandougou
Riding on a history so vibrant
Full of potent dreams and a future so bold.

If Senegal were a sailing boat
With the heart of a brave pirate
It would always sail to the shores of peace
Where hope greets and dreams meet.
