    More Booze

    Submitted By: Nkiru Njoku

    I've passed my exams...my life looks so bright,
    My wife just gave birth, for sure we must party.
    My landlord is dead,thank God;no more hassles,
    I won me a lottery, all man must be jolly.
    More Booze!More Booze!!More Booze!!!

    I just bought me a car...lets go us a-cruising,
    My pay check has come, why we no go party?
    Her mother is dead...my wife is now mine!
    Caro has said 'yes', my small heart is bursting!
    More Booze!More Booze!!More Booze!!!

    So pay check has come? Hurray,lets go spend it!
    Your mother-in-law don die? Good riddance it is!
    You passed your exams? lets go us a-grooving!
    And you bought you a car? Oya, you'll be driving.
    More Booze!More Booze!!More Booze!!!

    Your wife just bore child? I'm happy for you.
    So Caro said 'yes'?...indeed we must party.
    Hey man, you won lottery? Na you be the man!
    And your landlord is dead...good riddance indeed!
    More Booze!More Booze!!More Booze!!!

    Waiter,more booze! What? you've run out so soon?
    Incompetent nincompoop...how come no reserve?
    Oh well[hic],we'd best be off;it's almost midnight.
    But on second thougt, we'll find somewhere else...
    More Booze!More Booze!!More Booze!!!

    'Hey man, step on it...we've not got all night!'
    'Okay, you want speed, I'll give you alright!'
    'Careful,careful,the wind's in my face!'
    'Let the man be,we must get there real fast...
    More Booze!More Booze!! More Booze!!!

    'Watch the road man,you're not blind are you?'
    'Ol'boy, let me be...I'm on the right track,
    But who put this pole in the middle of the road?
    Screeeech...!!!Craaaash!!!!Booooom!!!!!!

    The smell of burning rubber,
    The sound of crushing metal...
    The smell of burning flesh,
    The sure smell of death...

    More Booze?More Booze?More Booze?
