Lyrics:
Bila nyama sijakula
Sijakula
Bila sukuma niko nyuma
Niko nyuma
Bila chili sijjadishi
Sijadishi
Timing ni noma nikichoma
Nikichoma

One man meat is anoda man poison
One man meat is anoda man poison

Ovacado
Ovacado
Ovacado
Ovacado

Bila nyama sijakula
Sijakula
Bila sukuma niko nyuma
Niko nyuma
Bila chili sijjadishi
Sijadishi
Timing ni noma nikichoma
Nikichoma

One man meat is anoda man poison
One man meat is anoda man poison

I should have known that all this time 
My favourite fruit is best with cinnamon and lime
And with sugar it's sublime
Oh yeah yeah 

I should have known that all this time
The one thing missing from my life 
Is round and green 
Royalty 
that's hanging from a tree

Ovacadooo
Ovacadooo

It's strength is versatility
It's friends are many globally 
It's great on toast 
With githeri
With chips and guacamole

Is it a vegetable or fruit?
Is it ripe or still maturing?
Give it a squeeze or you'll never know 
Take your time but not too long  

Ovacado
Ovacado
Ovacado
Ovacado
