Boycotting British Airways
By Sonala Olumhense
(Sing to the tune of "Blowing In The Wind")
What will you do when Nigerians hear
You bought British Airways tickets?
What will you say when people see you
At BA checking-in?
What will you do when you know we saw you
Boarding a British Airways flight?
What will you do when Nigerians hear
You really breached the boycott?
The answer, my friend, is crying in the wind
The answer is weeping in the wind
What will you say when Nigerians see you
Coming off a BA plane?
When what will you do when our friends ask you:
"You didn't, did you?"
What will you do when the cart porter
Tells you to keep your tip?
What will you do when the street beggar
Throws your money back to you?
The answer, dear friend, is swirling in the wind
The answer is smelling in the wind
What will you say when Immigration
Claps for you but won't say why?
What will you do when the Customs boss
Says: "Open up everything!"
What will you say when the policeman
Asks: "Na where your baggage tags, I beg?"
What will you say when the area boys
Say they already know about you?
The answer, my friend, is teasing in the wind
The answer is freezing in the wind.
What will you do when your own boyfriend
Refuses to meet you at BA?
What will you say when your own driver
Refuses to touch your luggage?
What will you do when your very own cook
Says you must be full from the flight?
What will you do when your very own blood
Says Bro, Who really are you?
What will you do when the manager
Says hotel is overbooked
The answer, my friend, is cooking in the wind
The answer is baking in the wind
What will you do when your dad calls you
Says "Son d'you know your History?"
What will you say when your mother cries
And tells you to remain in the house?
What will you do when your biz partner
Swears he advised you about BA?
What will you swear when the restaurateur
Recognizes you from television?
The answer my friend, is screaming in the wind
The answer is steaming in the wind
What will you say do when complete strangers
Call you "BA" on the street?
What will you do when your very own friends
Refuse to call you on the phone?
What will you do when your own family
Won't even accept your calls?
What do you do when each time the phone rings
Its BA offering you a free flight?
The answer, my friend, never...never BA
The BA boycott is May 15...
The BA boycott is May 15...
The BA boycott is May 15...
