THE MOUSE, THE SQUIRREL AND THE TORTOISE The mouse has bitten my nose Jo mi jo The mouse has bitten my nose Jo mi jo I wanted to set them apart Jo mi jo I wanted to set them apart Jo mi jo Sculptures of our forefathers Story of our great mothers Fairytales that draw our minds closer At times talk of ijakunmo, oluronbi or oduduwa Grandpa is here tonight Let’s go sit under the moonlight ‘cos tonight it’s clear and bright Time to listen to a story that terrifies He has a story to tell Tale of Ijapa, Asin and Okere Gather around all little children Listen in one accord and with your ears! I call him Baba Ewe Always going around with his moral ways He said learn to sing ‘’Asin bumi nimu je’’ this way ‘’jo mi jo’’ is what he asked us to say One day, it was Ijapa that cross the path Where the subject of love, peace and unity was set apart It was Asin and Okere having the pat Mixed with hatred and guts of vicious spat Ijapa saw this and flew with speed With a noble thought of setting them free He ended the fight but wasn’t happy Because the bite of Asin made his nose bleed.
