Santa Maria
I live in place called 'Santa Maria',
So do visit me in Accra (Ghana) to know how it looks like;
For poverty is what is written on my face.
Come to my swet abode and do share what i have,
For i have my sweet love for you alone;
Like the life seen over here in 'Santa Maria'.
This is another local area within Accra,
With words from my muse to reach the whole world!
But life here is all that you need to see.

10 Km From The Airport
10 Km from the Airport,
On the outskirts of Ghana's capital City, Accra, to meet your muse;
But, what you sow is what you reap in this life! !
And like the words of your parents now leading you on to the right path,
But i will always find a way to satisfy you with my love.

Hannah
Welcome to Ghana,
Either by sea, air or by land;
Welcome to Accra,
Either by air or by land;
Welcome to Kumasi,
Either by air or by land;
Welcome to Tamale,
Either by air or by land;
Welcome to Takoradi,
Either by land, sea or by air;
For it is like a pleasant child in the forest of love.
Hannah, Ghana is all that you have to visit in your life time.

'Zat You, Santa Claus?
'Zat You, Santa Claus?
Gifts I'm preparing for some Christmas sharing,
But I pause because,
Hanging my stocking I can hear a knocking.
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Sure is dark out, ain't the slightest spark out.
'Pon my slackened jaw!
Who's there? Who is it stopping for a visit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Are you bringing a present for me,
Something pleasantly pleasant for me?
Then it's just what I've been waiting for.
Would you mind slipping it under the door?
Cold winds are howling, or could that be growling?
My legs feel like straws.
My my oh me my, kindly would you reply?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Hanging the stocking, I can hear a knocking.
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
I say, who's there, who is it? Are you stopping for a visit?
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Oh there, Santa, you gave me a scare.
Now stop teasing cause I know you're there.
We don't believe in no goblins today,
But I can't explain why I'm shaking that way.
Bet I can see ole Santa in the keyhole.
I'll get to the cause.
One peek and I'll try there; oh oh, there's an eye there!
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Please, please, pity my knees!
Say that's you, Santa Claus!

Santas Beard
I wanna meet santa claus, the real real santa
I wanna meet santa claus, the real real santa
I wanna see santa claus, the real real santa
He wants to meet ol santa claus
I took my brother to the department store
He wanted to show santa his christmas list
He stood in line and he shook like a leaf
Hes only five and a half goin on six
He said, is that (that santa) really santa claus,
Really really (the real santa) santa claus?
Is that (that santa) really santa claus, really really santa?
(I hope he doesnt pull santas beard)
Is that (that santa) really santa claus,
Really really (the real santa) santa?
Hope he thinks thats santa claus
I picked him up and put him on santas lap
And then he pulled the pillow out of his shirt
He yanked the beard right on off of his chin
And in his eyes I could see he was hurt
He said, youre not (not santa) really santa claus,
Youre really not (the real santa) santa claus
Youre not (not santa) really santa claus,
Youre really not santa (he shouldnta pulled santas beard)
Youre not (not santa) santa claus,
Youre really not (the real santa) santa
Hes just helpin santa claus
Hes just helpin (helpin santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
Hes helpin (helpin santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
Hes just helpin (helpin santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
Hes just helpin santa claus
Hes just helpin (helpin santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
Hes just helpin (helpin santa) santa claus,
The real (he shouldnta pulled santas beard) real santa
Hes just helpin (helpin santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
Hes just helpin santa claus

9th May 2001
Horses galloped along and the fruits fell down but,
The clouds of love are now around you;
And you better keep up your mind straight for the fairy maidens.
The peaches of life is like your beautiful fruit of love,
So i need to pluck them young before they overgrow;
And better it is eaten raw than boiled,
Because the clouds of love are now around you!
I do share your grief and your pain,
With 126 dead bodies recorded on the 'Black Wednesday'!
And now,9th May 2001 is part of Ghana's history.
From a single burial to the mass burial,
But try to dream your years away when you sleep with love;
Because life is so cruel at times,
And like the story from the 33rd to the 36th parallel at the stadium.
It was a match between Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asanta Kotoko,
.......................and, it is a goal-oal-oal! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
But the state of the joyful minds turned sour;
With the tragedy from the stadium's stampede,
9th May 2001 at the Accra Sports Stadium! !
And 126 people were recorded dead.

Remarriage(A funny story)
Middle aged Santa and Jeeto were discussing life, and preparing wills. The conversation turned to remarriage...
Jeeto: If I should die first, will you remarry?
Santa: Probably, I wouldn`t like to spend the rest of my life alone.
Jeeto: Would you bring your new wife into our home that we have shared?
Santa: I don`t see why not. It would be empty, you wouldn`t be there.
Jeeto: Would you share the same bed we`ve shared?
Santa: Well, it`s a comfortable bed...
Jeeto: Would you let here wear my clothes?
Santa: Sure, if they fit. They are quite nice.
Jeeto: Would you let her use my golf clubs?
Santa: No way, Preeto(Banta's wife) is left handed.

Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...
All the beautiful words of the world in a single
word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria...
Maria!
I've just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
Maria!
I've just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I've found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!
Maria!
Say it loud and there's music playing,
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.
Maria,
I'll never stop saying Maria!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.

Here Comes Santa Claus
(words & music by autry - haldeman)
Here comes santa claus, here comes santa claus,
Right down santa claus lane.
Vixen, blitzen, all his reindeer
Pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing,
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say a prayer,
'cause santa claus comes tonight.
Here comes santa claus, here comes santa claus,
Riding down santa claus lane.
He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed and cover up your head,
Because santa claus comes tonight.
Here comes santa claus, here comes santa claus,
Riding down santa claus lane.
He doesn't care if you're a rich or poor boy,
He loves you just the same.
Santa knows that we're god's children,
That makes everything right.
Fill your hears with christmas cheer,
'cause santa claus comes tonight.
Well, here comes santa claus, here comes santa claus,
Riding down santa claus lane.
He'll come around when the chimes ring out
It's christmas morn again.
Peace on earth will come to all
If we just follow the light
Let's give thanks to the lord above,
'cause santa claus comes tonight.
'cause santa claus comes tonight

Yote Amo Maria
Orbison/dees
Bill dees was at the height of his powers in 1964-67. great backup vocals!
Im a poor peasant boy, Im a dirt farmers son
And I feel like a king when I know that my work is all done.
For at twilight I know, theres a place I must go
To sing my song of love for one who waits all alone.
Yote amo maria, maria amor, yote amo maria, maria mi amor.
Oh the beautiful sights, of the great city lights
Where most people must run to try to have fun, not for me.
For this woman of mine, is much sweeter than wine
And I spend all the time I can find with my marie.
Yote amo maria, maria amor, yote amo maria, maria mi amor.
Oh the joy of my life, will one day be my wife
And well spend all our days watching the world roll on by.
When her time comes to fly, to that home in the sky
I pray the angels above will love her as much as i.
Yote amo maria, maria amor, yote amo maria, maria mi amor.

Nsawam
Take me to Nsawam to search for my lover,
For it has taken her too long to come back home.
Of the challenging heights of love but,
How can i sleep tonight without her?
Oh! Of the hustle and bustle life in Accra;
But i am within the area of my abode and to wait for her.
Help me if you care,
Tell me if you've found her!
Come and take me to Nsawam,
For my lover is yet to come back home.

Minarets
Santa maria choose your children
Santa maria virgin child
All our wars over you we are fighting
And all our time faith justifying
Brother caged babylon will fall
Sister chained and bound, beaten and bleeding
The tvs on, to me this explains it
Wearing a tie like daddy speaks it
Screaming from the minarets
Later on well all be dancing
Screaming from the minarets
Yes indeed Im making faces
Rain on the ground in a space
God has grown
Alone till a man looking glass in his hand
He is holding up to you
What you see
What you see
What you see
What you see is human
Screaming from the minarets

But my love to you is like the Republic of Ghana;
And i have the views from Accra to love you.

Forgiveness makes us feel better and liberated;
For i will make your home a healing centre of love,
Bceause you are very caring and respectful my sweet Angelinna! !

Just Be Claus
When I think of Santa Claus
A traditional image comes to mind.
But when I shop in some stores
That is not what I find.
No more sleigh and Reindeer's
For him to get around.
He has a plane and helicopter
To get him off the ground.
Rockin' out with a guitar
Or swinging with his sax
Santa is jammin' on the scene
Just wailing to the max.
Santa rides a motorcycle.
Nice, but what's the deal?
Living at the North Pole
He should have a snowmobile.
Santa is famous for his train
So with this there is no distress.
Customers can now choose between
His local or polar express.
There's a Santa with a surfboard
So here's the opinion I'm forming;
If he knows if we've been bad or good
He must know about global warming.
All these items grace store shelves
But at the risk of sounding snooty.
I really wonder if Christmas needs
A singing Santa that shakes his booty.

My Antonia
(Emmylou Harris)
He said "Oh my love. Oh my Antonia
You with the dark eyes and palest of skin
Tonight I am going from Santa Maria
Wait for me till I'm in your arms once again"
She held me, she kissed me, begged me not to leave her
To cross on 1he mountain my fortune to win
But a letter now tells me she died of a fever
I'll never see her in this world again
You are my sorrow, you are my splendor
You are my shelter through storm and through strife
You are the one I will always remember
All off the days of my life
I curse the ambition that took me far from her
For a treasure not ever so fine or so fair
As the flash of her smile or the touch of her fingers
The fire in her heart and the smell of her hair
She left me a note that cried "Do not weep for me
Behold you are with me as sure as the stars
That rise in the evening to shine down upon me
Behold I am with you wherever you are"
I can still hear him. he calls to me only
What once was begotten shall come to no end
But the road is so long and the nights are so lonely
My soul just to hold him in this world again
You are my sorrow, you are my splendor
You are my shelter through storm and through strife
You are the one I will always remember
All of the days of my life
Oh my love, Oh my Antonia
You with the dark eyes and palest of skin
How could I know thai night in Santa Maria
I'd never see you in this world again

Lots of presents and toys

Up and down the reindeers
Santa Claus is flying
Get out your Christmas tree

Made by his elves

Make sure your Xmas stockings

Geese Park
Geese Park,
Resting Place,
In Accra;
And, the President of Ghana,
John Evans Atta Mills was laid to rest.
Geese, peacocks, pigeons, doves and docks!
In a clean envirinment to pay their respect;
But, with a big pond around under tight security.
Face out of sand,
Words out of mind,
Works out of hands;
With mourners dressed in Red and Black! !
And, his resting place was at the Geese Park.
