[Intro - Talking Drum Solo, Narrator - deep male spoken word] Did you hear? Today lives here. Tomorrow lives up there. [Chorus - All Villagers - full mixed choir, energetic] Today is heavy, Today is hot, the yam will not dig itself! Today is heavy, Today is hot, who will help us dig it? [Verse - Ntikuma - boy soprano, bright, 11 years old, innocent leader] Mama says work now, Papa says pray now, spider in the rafter says not today! [Chorus - All Villagers] Today is heavy, Today is hot, the yam will not dig itself!
