lyrics

It’s time to launch an expedition
To go to Togo, cause there’s a suspicion
That the Togo red jewel damselfly
Could be gone forever without saying goodbye.

It’s time to go to Togo.
No, no, we will not rest
Until we’ve done our best to address this rescue request
From a damsel in distress.

She’s not been seen since eighteen ninety-eight,
And she may have suffered from a terrible fate.
We must go straight away, not wait –
We might already be too late.
It’s time to go to Togo:
There’s a damsel in distress.

There’s been lots of deforestation
All across the Togo nation,
And it may have placed our damsel in a perilous situation.
It’s time to go to Togo:
There’s a damsel in distress.

Chances are that you’ll
Never see a Togo red jewel.
If she’s not already extinct
She’s definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely
On the brink.
