Stay away from home or village
When the Rapper comes to pillage
Steal your windows, forks and china
Like a screeching rabid mynah
Raze your home and salt your farm!
Stay away, he'll do no harm.
In his pillaging obsession
He'll just ruin your possessions
And let you live another day,
If you stay the hell away!
