I met Betty Jane

GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)



I met Betty Jane
At the back lane
Holding a cane
Quite really insane
 
I called her by name
And sure she came
Without any shame
Like an old dame
 
I gave her a hug
Still with my bag
That held a jug
With a little mug
 
I racked my brain
Totally all in vain
To make her fine
Without any strain
