1. Ogbomoso Ajilete
   Si ogo re l’a fe korin
   Iwo t’a te s’arin odan
   Okan ninu ilu Akin
2. A-to-sa-si n’jo t’o buru
   Abo f’eniti eru mba
   Odi t’ota ko le parun,
   Ogun Filani ko ri mi
3. Oluwa olodumare

Ogbomoso Folk song
Ati de’nu Oko a sin mi o.
Ade’nu oko a simi
Ogun kan ko ja ja ja
Ko ko Ogbomoso ajilete
Ade’nu oko a simi

Note: The supposed “Ogbomoso Folk song” can be used as the chorus for the stanzas in the anthem

Ogbomoso o
Ogbomoso o
Mo feran re
Ilu akoni
