We will colour his eye with grief we will carve a green white green
totem and give guard to his wife, the devil
We will all pay tribute— including those of Baka.s.si
We will marry the widow on the throne to the G.o.d of thunder right in the presence of Ulli Bier!
Bring the kola, fetch the bitter kola
