Lyrics
Eko o! Lagos nights, oh
Sun go down and the generator sing
Danfo horn dey blow like a wedding ring
Suya smoke dey rise from the corner spot
Every street get music and the music hot
Mama call me, "Obi, come chop"
I say "Mama, tonight the whole city no go stop"
Log drum talking, guitar dey reply
Lagos nights, oh, and the night no go die
Where you dey? (Lagos!)
Wetin dey happen? (Lagos!)
Who dey with me? (Everybody!)
Then make we go!
Lagos nights, Lagos nights
Everybody dance under the yellow lights
Lagos nights, Lagos nights
Log drum, talking drum, we dey feel alright
Eko! (Eko!) Eko! (Eko!)
Obi Wave, and the whole city glow
From Surulere to the Island bridge
Every window open, every DJ big
Girls dey shake and the boys dey shout
Uncle in the corner with the highlife route
I no dey follow trend, I carry home
Every rhythm I sing na Lagos loan
Brass dey hit and the crowd dey chant
Obi Wave, and I no fit stop, I can't
Where you dey? (Lagos!)
Wetin dey happen? (Lagos!)
Who dey with me? (Everybody!)
Then make we go!
Lagos nights, Lagos nights
Everybody dance under the yellow lights
Lagos nights, Lagos nights
Log drum, talking drum, we dey feel alright
Eko! (Eko!) Eko! (Eko!)
Obi Wave, and the whole city glow
(brass) MAKE WE GO!
Lagos nights, Lagos nights
Everybody dance under the yellow lights
Lagos nights, Lagos nights
Log drum, talking drum, we dey feel alright
Eko! (Eko!) Eko! (Eko!)
Obi Wave, and the whole city glow
