Hey, Selebobo, J. Martins

I wanna hook somebody
I wanna rock somebody
Hold you for my hand
Omo no dey fall my hand

Yoyo yoyo yoyo yoyo yoyo...
This na time for onye bwanasor
Yaya yaya yaya yaya yaya...
No run run no run na today

Before you start to vex for me
Follow begin to shake body
Cause people dey pushe, gyrate, jubilate
Abegi make you no worry
Whether you get or you no get money
Cause pop go popey, no buchei - you go ampagne
No no no no no no no no
No nobody fit stop my fun
O bu onye ara? O bu onye ara? Ay ya ya ya ya
