(Refrain)
When death conquers death
He would finally get to ask
His slippery mortal enemy
And he would be up to the task
(I)
He would probably first ask
What he did so wrong to its claws
That its guards kept watching him
From birth till he tasted those claws
(Refrain)
II
It was first his mother
She housed him with love
But it tore her heart using his coming
Caring beings said she watched from above
(Refrain)
(II)
Then it stretched its long hands
And stole his only brother
When he was barely five
And at ten, added his father
(Refrain)
(III)
When Grandma joined at twelve
Hands begun to point
Accusing him of things so alien
Among which was he and Satan’s joint
(Refrain)
(IV)
And so he flew from town to town
Until Cupid caught him through Yaa
He was glad he had a family
And worshipped the walking grounds of Yaa
(Refrain)
(V)
Yaa was the pot who broke
While carrying his precious water
His tears rained forever
As he pondered over the matter
(Refrain)
(VI)
And then he met with Betty
And found her very witty
He tried to court her daily
Until it again came and took her pretty
(Refrain)
(VII)
So when they finally meet
He would be the interrogator
And would sure torment death
Who would be nothing than an obligator
(Refrain)
