Burkina Faso Lover Lyrics by Dick Valentine

Here Comes the Bags!

2015

See that man with the ragga do
He's General Oku’s favorite number two
If you want to get some, well he's who you go through
I was revered for my American shoes
This hotel has none of the amenities that I'm used to
But I like it
Yes, I tell myself I like it
It must be true
Having whiskey with my Nehru man
Fanning ourselves with a bamboo fan
Praying we don’t end up in a windowless van
I was almost killed for my American shoes
This hotel has none of the varieties of booze that I'm used to
But I like it
Yes, I tell myself I like it
And you do too
See the lady with the bloody heart
She's General Oku's favorite saucy tart
Her eyes will blind you and you'll fall apart
They don't care about what's in your heart
They don't care about what’s in
I designed my own death warrant too
But I like it
I love her, I love her
My Burkina Faso lover
