Ojuelegba Sleep
Ojuelegba sleep
O, where is sleep
On this insomniac night
Aroused by songs of music
Blaring through the holy hours
As bachelors seek for bedmate
Husbands ran away from home
From the torment of their nagging wives
And adventure into the night
Making small talks, gist and boasting
Amidst the glistering lights
And the shaded dark corners
Are street girls calling out Johns
Putting up seductive appearance
Cat walking with such artificial smile
Their beauty may confuse you
All you see are not ladies of the night
Some are angels of darkness
Green snakes under green grass
Pretending to fall for you
Ojuelegba love
O, where is love
Just pay a thousand five hundred
And have her for the night
No strings attached!
