WE'LL BE SPENDING OUR MONEYBefore the doctor confirms the belly Carries a twin or single baby We'll be spending and spending our money Buying and paying for so so many Expensive things with no sympathy From nurses and doctors of maternity And from those selling the baby's Wears, drugs, food and accessories And as they call us baba baby After the arrival of our baby Things get very very heavy We must buy biscuit and candy For those coming to visit the baby Then arrange for naming ceremony Which will yield to us no money Buying and paying for so so many Expensive things to keep the baby Plus the mother strong and healthy Now that education is big money We'll spend and spend our money Paying for his or her primary School fee down to tertiary We need to face reality Though, having a twin or single baby Is a reward of a holy matrimony But why's the world using our fertility To drive us down into poverty?
