Dirty Town
By Irene Awuor
Dirty town, dirty town
Do you live in dirty town?
Where people throw their rubbish down
Upon the streets of dirty town
Dirty streets, dirty streets
Do you walk down dirty streets?
Where cars and bus run over your feet
Nothing there is ever neat
Dirty school, dirty school
Do you go to dirty school?
Where children behave like fools
And do not know conservation rules
Dirty girl, dirty girl
Do you ever bath at all?
With dirty face and dress
You really look a mess
