Mrs Brown

                                  Mrs. Brown has Guinea Worm Fever

                     

                       I see Mrs.  Brown

                       Has Guinea Worm Fever

                       And her husband

                       Is going blind with Trachoma

                       They say a deadly

                       Mosquito plague

                       Is at our doors

                       But Malaria or Dengue fever

                       Don't bother me anymore

                       This is Africa

                        Poor Mr.  Jones is riddled

                        With Leprosy and his kids

                        Are dying with the deadly

                        Ebola bleeding disease

                        Shame his wife is sick

                        With Cholera

                        Or is it Yellow Fever?

                        Both are as common

                        As chalk and cheese

                         This is Africa

                        Tuberculosis is rife

                        It killed Mr. Green

                        And his wife

                        Their kids went sick

                        With Diarrhea

                        Or was it Dysentery?

                        Passing blood instead

                        Of stools they never will

                        Go back to school

                        This is Africa

                        Mind you, we've seen worse

                       With Polio and rampant AID'S

                       Sand Fly Fever with the threat of SAR's

                       And Elephantiasis

                       That made the Johnson's

                       Twins limbs so enlarged

                        This is Africa

                        We had a dose of Whooping Cough

                        An outbreak of Measles to

                        But not as bad as Marburg Fever

                        And that Tetanus

                        Bye the gods, that killed quite a few

                         This is Africa

                        This puts us all to shame

                        How dare WE COMPLAIN?

                        When we suffer a dose of flu

                        Put yourselves in Africa’s place

                        See if these deadly diseases

                        Would kill off you
