Eko on the move
Never pressed for stool
The darling of the nation
Elegant in motion
Like the beauty of an icing sugar on a cake
She adds beauty to the state
Like a tireless ox ploughing the fields
she harbours the burden of all it feeds
Not to her dismay
But to the glory that sets her high above the rest
Eko on the move
Never pressed for stool
The heart of the cart
Cautious in act
Like a skillful hunter she treads gently in the midst of hostile beasts
With the heart of a generous host she rubs her guest of their cold feet
She's the platform upon which our dynamism is exhibited
She's the destination that tickles our imagination
She's the land upon which all dreams could grow into reality
Fearless in the face of adversity
Eko on the move
Never pressed for stool
The avant garde of greatness
The custodian of success

Eko on the move
Never pressed for stool
The darling of the nation
Elegant in motion
Like the beauty of an icing sugar on a cake
She adds beauty to the state
Like a tireless ox ploughing the fields
she harbours the burden of all it feeds
Not to her dismay
But to the glory that sets her high above the rest
Eko on the move
Never pressed for stool
The heart of the cart
Cautious in act
Like a skillful hunter she treads gently in the midst of hostile beasts
With the heart of a generous host she rubs her guest of their cold feet
She's the platform upon which our dynamism is exhibited
She's the destination that tickles our imagination
She's the land upon which all dreams could grow into reality
Fearless in the face of adversity
Eko on the move
Never pressed for stool
The avant garde of greatness
The custodian of success
Dedicated to Lagos.
