When The Pope Comes To My Country

We are nation builders We have little time We devote it all to our People A healthy People, A healthy nation, The Pearl of Africa! I am Minister of health I spend all day doing books of accounts At night I visit the mortuary It is forever empty Oh Praise our ministry For our healthy people They do not die! We are a healthy nation At fifty one, I am a teenager And somebody is not happy Now I am at the University Locked in the University And I understand everything.

Croak! Croak! His sarcastic tone laughed It was a message, A bad message he recalls it, “Help yourself and leave I am not opening I don’t care what happens Just leave me alone, I don’t love you,” Britney, a bride-to-be chucks her boyfriend! Betrayal, Chips chicken and cheating, Tears of joy, Laughter’s with pain All flowing in the River of love Oh God forbid, That I should drink from that river!
