A Ugandan Christmas song

Another missionary here made up a version of "Jingle Bells" related to transportation in a taxi here in Uganda. I love it and all my students sang it for me this morning. Here it is:

Dashing through the mud
In a four door taxi van
Fourteen passengers
And a conductor hanging on. 
No lights, no brakes, no horn
But still we carry on
We're going to our jja-ja's house
We'll get there just at dawn. 
Oh..

Chicken here, chicken there, chicken in my ear,
Bok, bok, bok!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a taxi without gears.
Chicken here, chicken there, chicken in my ear,
Bok, bok, bok!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a taxi without gears!


Lyrics by Julie Probst
