VERSE 1
Monday morning, teacher wake up,
Carry bag, but the school gate lock up.
Chalk for pocket, lesson note for hand,
But the matter don scatter for the land!
Teacher ask, “Who go pay my salary?”
Landlord reply, “Na you know your story!”
Children ask, “Teacher, where you dey?”
Teacher answer, “My people, I dey pray!” 😂
CHORUS
He say, no work, no pay!
NUT say, no vacancy, no way!
NLC say, we stand our ground,
Teachers want solution, make we settle down!
VERSE 2
Wike dey talk, union dey reply,
Teacher dey look up to the sky.
Rice don finish, garri don low,
Even POS man say, “Oga, take am slow!”
School bell ring, but nobody answer,
Strike don turn to a serious matter.
Teacher get knowledge, teacher get brain,
But salary matter dey cause headache again!

The future of our children dey very near.
No be fight we want, na solution we need,
Pay the workers and let the schools succeed!

Make our teachers return with dignity.
No vacancy, no work, no pay for the day,
But education must not run away!

No vacancy, no work! (No work!)
Who go teach the children? (Who?)
Make government do the work!
No work, no pay!
No vacancy, no work!
Teacher no be machine,

OUTRO (Funny Spoken Voice)
If you see teacher for junction,
No ask am, “Why you no dey classroom?”
Ask government, “When una go resolve the matter?”
