Kids sing this on seeing a cow...

E-yo cow! - Cameroonian Children's Songs - Cameroon - Mama Lisa's World: Children's Songs and Rhymes from Around the World - Intro Image

Notes

*"Njama-njama" is a Pidgin English word for leafy green vegetables, and does not add to the song. Probably something like "fee fi fom".
**Ngaoundere is a city in the North of Cameroon where cattle rearing is a major occupation.
***"Belle cow" will literarily translate as "the stomach of the cow" but actually refers to tripe and other internal parts of the cow which are generally eaten in Cameroon.
