The sea of humans
Search for crumbs.
Shallow singers sing;
"Eko o ni baje,
Eko o ni baje,
Eko o ni baje o o".
Benighted bards sing along
In the sing song,
Emaciated morons
Move to the rhythm
Of the sing song.
Knighted nit wits laze
On the lawns of Lekki mansions,
Bantering with belles.
Lekki lies across the lagoon
Surrounded by sleaze.
The lagoon separates Lekki
From the many slums of Eko.
"Eko o ni baje,
Eko o ni baje,
Eko o ni baje o o".
The song continues to echo.
