THE SONG OF LAGOS II

City of hustle,

City of bustle,

Equipping the fragile

with bulging muscles;

Opened wide your arms

to every man,

All and sundry

become but one.


The hub of hustle,

No lazing about!

The home of bustle,

Not a dull moment!

Opened wide your arms

to every man,

All and sundry

become but one.


Traffic of Lagos,

Second to none;

Sea of hustlers,

Jostling for customers,

(O, Lagos!)

Opened wide your arms

to every man

All and sundry 

become but one!
