- Description
- This is a song about a Gekko lizard. The lizard, he says, is a harmless animal, it does not eat food like other animals. All it eats is soot, nor does it despise anybody, so why kill it. If one of these Gekko lizards is killed seven others would take the case to the chief and they will win their case. So do not kill the gekko lizard. The two lyres were tuned an ocatve apart and were said to be exactly in tune with lyre played by Bulasiyo. viz:- 286, 336, 194, 168, 144, 194, 248 vs. Topical song, with 2 Endongo lyres (-10.625 x 8-).
