lyrics

O asunge dabile Oh the asunge has arrived
Jijaw jijuker huken jahoala Look at her butt shake
Huken jahatta asunge a e The asunge’s butt ah ay
Eniil esansuman What a great body
Asunge nagalom ayisen boola asunge The asunge showed me her house

O e dabetenom Oh ay she tossed me aside
Bata asunga nijene I went to asunge’s house
Ijukutool a ye I didn’t see her ah yay
O Emite ehase Oh God knows
