LIKE A RIPE MANGO

JK ABIGABA 1991 (Kibaale)

Rhymed
Like a ripe mango in the tree
Got you not my life not free
At all costs whether a lot of fee
With one child we'll be three

Like a ripe mango you attract me
To say that I love you on my knees
To my future you're the key
Open the door and set me free

Like of a ripe mango your skin so smooth
Sing for me a song in your voice so cool
Leaving you now I'd be a real fool
Like a white cat playing in a dirty pool
