Now listen to me now

Wey talk oyinbo well well to rule our land o
(That man!)
Oh yes
[Chorus]
Him talk oyinbo pass English man!
Him talk oyinbo pass America man
Him talk oyinbo pass French man
Me I say him talk oyinbo pass Germany man
The better oyinbo you talk
The more bread you go get
School start na grade four bread
B.A. na grade three bread

Ph.D na grade one bread
The better oyinbo you talk
The more bread you go get
They na be man
(Which man?)
Wey talk oyinbo well well to rule our land o

[Chorus]
Him talk oyinbo pass English man!

[Chorus]
Him talk oyinbo pass English man!
Him talk oyinbo pass America man
[Fela makes up some gibberish oyinbo]
Him talk oyinbo pass Germany man
Me I say him talk oyinbo pass French man
