As soon as the old cock crows
And the black cloud rolls
We emerge from our nests and holes
Dressed in our hearts and souls
Armed with a common urge
United with gaping yawns
Across all age and gender
To even where streets have no name
We're Waiting on you like manna
Expecting you like the Messiah
We'd struggle with the vendors
Just to relish your splendour.
Amongst your peer, you have no pair
A day without you leaves us in despair.
Through the ages, you've proven your worth
By giving Nigerians daily joy and strength.
You have no label, yet we all know your name
Among your rivals you've claimed your fame.
No fancy dress, but we're all attracted to you
Your taste is lovely and your sight, enticing.
Birds of the air sing your praise,
Voices on the streets tell of your wonders.
Your popularity stretches farther than the sea,
Even JUMOKE your friend speaks of you with pride.
If there is one things I'd thing ask of the lord
May your days be long on the Nigerian streets !!
This is the testimony of one of your beneficiaries
Oh Agege bread, everything written about you is great !
