I'M GOING BACK TO AFRICA
By Lord Invader

I am taking all my children [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
I will take good care of them [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
Darling, I am very sorry [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
I cannot take you with me. [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]

I have an introduction letter [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
From the Gold Coast Commissioner [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
My first stop is Nigeria [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
A warm welcome for Invader. [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]

Then I'll go to Kenya [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
And Abyssinia [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
I want to see Haile Selassie [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
To speak to him personally. [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]

I am going to South Africa too [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
To see what they said is true [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
Doh matter that I am a West Indian [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]
My forefathers is African. [I am going back home to Africa, Theresa]

Note From The Gull

Thank you, Lord Invader.

 "Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
