Lyrics of 'Army Arrangement' by Fela Kuti

[Chorus]
One day go be one day!
Those wey dey steal the money for government!

Ju'di, ju'di, ju'di
Ju si le
Ju'di, ju'di, ju'di
Ju si le
Ju'di, ju'di, ju'di

Odi you all, yansh don fall
Anywhere yansh go, yansh must fall
Up, left, right, round round, it must fall
And na thing wey yansh dey do na this suite:
Shit, piss, fuck, it is, why not?
Because yansh na wonderful material perfect

Whether you like or you no like
After you hear this true talk
Whether you like or you no like
After you hear this true talk

[Chorus]
Ge ge!

If you like e good
If you no like you hang
If you like e good
If you no like you hang
If you hang you go die
You go die for nothing
We go carry your body go police station
You die wrongfully

Ge ge, ge ge, ge ge...

Ju'di, ju'di, ju'di
Ju si le
Ju'di, ju'di, ju'di

Odi e wrong ko to
You see, man eye get different look for woman yansh
She see small yansh, you go say,
"Yeah, look at this big yansh!"
If you can't see big yansh, you go say,
"Yeah, look at this is small yansh!"
And if you see more yansh
Wey you wan to bury your prick inside
You go say, "Hey baby, show me your particulars!"
I talk in english, I go say,
"Hey darling, show me your living license!"
Particular wey na be police particular
Wey na one Christ Particular
You see, police particular
If you get am, look at dey go
If you no get am, you go handicap, you see
But the original particular
Natural particular
If you no get am, you go dey go ni
If you get am, you must enter...

[Fela sings the Twilight Zone theme]

Whether you like or you no like
After you hear this true talk...

Twenty-two women dey suffer him no fit talk na condition
Man dey suffer him fit talk na condition too
Man dey suffer him no fit talk na condition
Man dey suffer him fit talk na condition too

Suffer dey Africa, pa pa ra pa

And we dey suffer, pa pa ra pa
Which condition you dey I don't know
The condition me I dey me I know
My condition don reach make I act

If your condition today make you shake
And you still dey not talk the way you feel
Make you open your two ears very well
To hear the truth talk me I dey talk
Listen make you dey agree for me
Every day and night you dey hear me talk
One day you self you agree with me
To dey act the way as you dey feel
Remember if you no act your own
One day of course we must die
