Batoma
Batoma, your child is crying Come take him We sing. We dance. We shake. We get a move on. Me, I don’t give a damn! [repeat chorus] Batoma, your baby cries, Batoma Batoma, everyone asks you, Batoma Batoma, everyone calls you, Batoma Batoma, your baby cries, Batoma Me, I don’t give a damn. [repeat verse] If the child is crying, Give him your milk. If the namesake of my father is crying, Give him your milk. If the namesake of my mother is crying, Give her your milk. If the namesake of my grandfather is crying, Give him your milk. If the namesake of my father-in-law is crying, Give him your milk. If the namesake of Baguayogo is crying, Give him your milk. We sing. We dance. We shake. We get a move on. Me, I don’t give a damn! And if the namesake of the grandfather is crying? Let him cry until he’s blue in the face. Me, I don’t give a damn. And if the namesake of the grandmother is crying? Let her cry until she’s blue in the face? Me, I don’t give a damn. And if the namesake of the nasty father-in-law is crying? Let him cry until he’s blue in the face. Me, I don’t give a damn. And if the namesake of the nasty brother-in-law is crying? Let him cry until he’s blue in the face. Me, I don’t give a damn. And if the namesake of the nasty wife of the polygamist is crying. Let her cry until she’s blue in the face. Me, I don’t give a damn. Batoma, your child is crying. Come take him. We sing. We dance. We shake. We get a move on. Me, I don’t give a damn! If the children are crying Carry them on your backs If the children are crying Keep them quiet If the children are crying Take care of them Tjou! Tjou! Tjou! Give him your milk Tjou! Tjou! Tjou! Carry him on your back ...
