Detty December

Lyrics

Ah, the smell of jet fuel and burning tires.

It can only mean one thing... My bank account is about to suffer.

The eagle has landed, the eagle is here!

I've saved up my Sterling for this time of year!

I've packed all my sneakers, your serums, my pride

With a portable fan and a power bank by my side!

(He's got his power bank!)

I'm dodging the aunties, I'm dodging the heat

I'm looking for something expensive to eat!

Sis needs a stylist for braids, no, make it a wig!

I need a table at ZUMA, something quite big!

I'm checking the Twitter, I'm checking the 'Gram

I'm stuck on the bridge in a two-hour jam!

The Uber is surging! (Five-X!)

The driver is sleeping! (Next!)

My accent is fading, I'm losing my 'the'

I just shouted "Oga!", what's happened to me?!

Oh, it's a Detty, Detty, Detty December!

The Lagosian heat is a thing to remember!

From the "I Just Got Backs" to the locals in town

We're spending the cash 'til the bridge falls down!

It's chaotic! (Glorious!)

It's messy! (Uproarious!)

Welcome to the center of excellence... and stress!

The humidity hits like a slap in the face.

Babe's edges are lifting all over the place!

I said "No ice in my water," I said "No pepper, please"

Now I'm crying for dodo and crawling on knees!

(He's eating the pepper now!)

(He's sweating the fever out!)

So bring on the concerts! (The concerts!)

Bring on the beach! (The beach!)

And things that are slightly out of our reach!

We'll party 'til Jan-u-ary makes us cry

Under the hazy, Harmattan sky!

EKÓ Ó NI BÀJÉ!

It's a Detty, Detty, Detty... DECEMBEEEEER!

It's a Detty, Detty, Detty...

It's a Detty, Detty, Detty...

It's a Detty! It's a Detty! It's a Detty!

Wait... you mean the ticket is five hundred thousand Naira? For a plastic chair?

...I'll take two.
