Tale of a playing vulture who does not want to go home all it does is play
Someone tells the little vulture to go back home and that food is ready
Vulture vulture
Your mom is calling you
What does she want from me
She says food is ready
What kind of food
She mentions her favourite food (fufu and palm nut soup)
The vulture gladdens and sings the chorus repeatedly senewadendenden
