(Talking drum rhythm fades in)
Oya, gather round, it's a big day
This one special for my princess
Momoh Ogooluwa Deborah, you already know
It's your day, let's go!
Early morning sun is shining down on you
My beautiful Deborah, my dream coming true
You are the first star that lit up my sky
Watching you grow, oh my heart is so high
From your first steps to the lady you stand today
Daddy is proud, more than words can ever say
No wahala, today we celebrate the best
Above all the rest, you pass every single test
Happy birthday, Deborah, my golden child
With a heart so pure and a spirit so wild
Momoh Ogooluwa, you are the light of my life
I’m dancing for you, cutting through all the strife
Deborah, shine bright, today is your crown
We gonna paint the whole city of Lagos town
E choke! It's a party for my queen
Best birthday celebration that you've ever seen
Look at the way you carry your grace
Confidence shining all over your face
My daughter, my blessing, my pride and my joy
More precious than gold, more fun than a toy
See, the road might be long, but you hold your head high
Don't ever stop reaching, just touch the blue sky
Everything you touch, girl, it’s bound to turn gold
Your story is great, yeah, it’s meant to be told
Happy birthday, Deborah, my golden child
With a heart so pure and a spirit so wild
Momoh Ogooluwa, you are the light of my life
I’m dancing for you, cutting through all the strife
Deborah, shine bright, today is your crown
We gonna paint the whole city of Lagos town
Omo! It's a party for my queen
Best birthday celebration that you've ever seen
Celebrate, celebrate, let the drums play low
Let the love in your heart begin to overflow
No dulling today, we move to the beat
With music and laughter and something so sweet
(Shekere rhythm building)
Yeah, daddy is here, cheering you on
From dusk to the light of the breaking of dawn
Happy birthday, Deborah, my golden child
With a heart so pure and a spirit so wild
Momoh Ogooluwa, you are the light of my life
I’m dancing for you, cutting through all the strife
Deborah, shine bright, today is your crown
We gonna paint the whole city of Lagos town
No cap! It's a party for my queen
Best birthday celebration that you've ever seen
Yeah, Momoh Ogooluwa
Deborah, you are the boss
Keep shining, keep winning
Daddy loves you, on God
Happy birthday, princess!
