The Vultures And Dancing

The vultures have taken a break
A pause from dancing in Nyasaland
A break from singing in parliamemt
Its time for spectators name names
Names of those who were dancing woefully
Names of those who danced terribly like
Chameleons changing colours when hedges got green

The clear rules of dancing were ignored
And woefully followed until that good song stood up
And refused to sing to guard its reputation
The rule of dancing was one step at a time
And one man dancing the rest clapping hands
One dancing the rest echoing in a circles
But vultures did otherwise

Our vultures being vultures
Left the parliament and danced outside
Like anamwino waiting for mkamwini
They sang loud to the annoyance of spectators
The parliament was populated with Tarven songs
That tarven song spectators have for long forbidden
And vultures danced many steps at a time
To the annoyance of all people who came to watch

When dancing finished vultures being vultures
Had no time to listen to the wise advice of spectators
They fought for money instead of dancing mchoma
They looted the honourable house given to them
And rain refused to rain until vultures stop dancing
And the people assembled in disgust of vultures
People went looking for new dancers
Dancers that would dance one step at a time
From then all vultures went back to where they belong
That bush where many steps can be danced
To the annoyance of its forest
