Giftie, thank You Giftie
Efforts appreciated, oh! Gajeje's mom!
For Funtuaville do we set sail oh boys!
Giftie, our giftie does live there
One of those days, I tried to locate her
Kano first but nobody knew her whereabouts
Here,city boys made me great gifts
And on I fared, not even a morsel to care for
Gusauville I put another question
And as none had any idea where she was,
I fared on without bothering for a drink
I tendered same question Kauraville
And as the feedback turned out negative,
I passed through without my lunch
Katsina city where Dikko was king, I asked
I slipped out, it couldn't be a bedding place
Eventually, when I arrived in Funtuaville,
Here was Giftie - dear Gajeje's mom
And thank you singer, she managed to say
Thank you too, I returned the compliment
