“Uselu Boy” lyrics

Uselu boy (koyo!)
Show you my side
Benin, Benin

You come from Lagos, you dey form big girl
I carry you go Ring Road, show you my world
Starch and banga, you never chop am before
You lick your finger, you dey ask for more
We waka go Oba Market, noise everywhere
Aunty dey sell coral, she dey stare
You buy one bead, you wear am with pride
Now you look like say Benin na your side

Uselu boy (koyo!)
Uselu boy (koyo!)
Show you Benin, show you my side
Uselu boy (koyo!)
Uselu boy (koyo!)
Uselu boy (koyo!)
Show you Benin, show you my side
Uselu boy (koyo!)

Morning you greet my mama "Ob'owie"
She laugh, she tell you "you don learn am, eh"
December festival, drums for the palace
"Oba gha to kpere," you dey dance with us
You no wan go back, you dey cancel flight
You say "Benin sweet, make I stay one night"
One night turn one week, e don become plan
Uselu boy, na me be your man

Uselu boy (koyo!)
Uselu boy (koyo!)
Show you Benin, show you my side
Uselu boy (koyo!)

Ob'owie, Ob'owie
Every day with you na good morning
Ob'owie, Ob'owie
Uselu boy

Uselu boy (koyo!)
Uselu boy (koyo!)
Show you Benin, show you my side
Uselu boy (koyo!)
Show you Benin, show you my side
Show you Benin, show you my side
Show you Benin, show you my side

Koyo, koyo (koyo!)
Uselu, Uselu (koyo!)
Koyo, koyo (koyo!)
Benin City (koyo!)

Koyo! (Uselu)
Show you my side
