Текст песни O.D.O.O. (edit version) - Fela Kuti

Ah, I beg, let us get down

Into another underground spiritual game

I beg, after my, "Pass-o, pass-o"

You go der help me end am with, "Wen"

Because them go hear, "Wen", yeah...

Pass-o, pass-o, pass-o, pass-o

Pass-o, pass-o, oh!

Wen!

Ay, ay, ay, yeah...

When they want to call, hey

When they want to call, yeah

When they want to call Nigerian government

Them give am name, Federal Military Government

(Federal Military Government)

For Libya dem give am name, Liberation Council

(Liberation Council)

For Liberia dem give am name, Redemption Council

(Redemption Council)

For Zaire dey give am name, Revolutionary Council

(Revolutionary Council)

Them get different, different names

For different, different governments

But the correct name for them, na

Soldier go, soldier come! (Soldier go, soldier come!)

Federal Military Government

(Soldier go, soldier come!)

Libya Liberation Council

(Soldier go, soldier come!)

Liberia Redemption Council

(Soldier go, soldier come!)

Zaire Revolutionary Council

(Soldier go, soldier come!)

Soldier go, soldier come! (Soldier go, soldier come!)

Oh!

When Obasanjo and Yar'Adua

Chop belly full and go

Them put civilian friends for there

Them shout, "Second Republic!"

People wey no know dey happy

People wey know them dey look

Them baptize the civilian government

Them name am federal government

Me I know by their name

Me I call them, "Soldier put, soldier go"

Yay!

Soldier go, soldier come

Soldier come, soldier go

Na so our lives for Africa dey roll

Since them say we get independence

Soldier go, soldier come

Soldier come, soldier go

The civilian government wey them dey

Na soldier dey protected them

Soldier go, soldier come

Soldier come, soldier go

When our lives roll small

He go go knock head for wall

Soldier go, soldier come

Soldier come, soldier go

When our lives roll small

He go go knock head for tree

Soldier go, soldier come

Soldier come, soldier go

When our lives roll small

He go go knock head for stone

Soldier go, soldier come

Soldier come, soldier go

When I see say our lives dey roll

Like on yeye ball

Wey one yeye wind

Dey blow from one yeye corner

I put my mind for song

Kalakuta show (yeye rolling)

Gaga, gugu, gaga, gugu (yeye rolling)

Look the man he dey waka (yeye rolling)

Gaga, gugu, gaga, gugu (yeye rolling)

Hungry dey run for him race (yeye rolling)

Woko, woko, woko, woko (yeye rolling)

I put my mind for song

Mr. Follow, Follow, make you open eye (yeye rolling)

Mr. Follow, Follow (yeye rolling)

Mr. Follow, Follow, make you open sense (yeye rolling)

Mr. Follow, Follow (yeye rolling)

About turn, quick march, left turn (yeye rolling)

Shuffling and smiling (yeye rolling)
