Well Melody, come close to me
I will tell you plain and candidly
Don't stop back and smile
Because you have a face like a crocodile!
(Sparrow, you shouldn't tell me that at all
I mind you when you was small
Many of the nights I used to mash your head
In crossing to go on yuh mother... babadap, babadap!)
I know you think you are looking sweet
Posing here in you old false teeth
Is a lucky thing your uncle kick out
For you to get the false teeth to put in your mouth!
(That is all you can say
In every angle and every way?
But the way how you watching at me
I go buss a right hook in your belly!)
It look as if you want trouble here tonight
All yuh always looking for fight
I'll tell you this candidly
That is why the jail never empty!
(You know that I'll be proud and glad
If Sampson and Delilah come back to Trinidad
But when they come, I wouldn't go in the theatre
Because look the jawbone of the ass right here!)
Well, ladies and gents, to tell you this I'm sure
When the circus was here they had a big uproar
Walking hand in hand, the female chimpanzee
Take Mello for she man!
(Sparrow, that is a mistake
And in my opinion you give me a headache
This is what I'm forced to say
Is the same mistake you going to make today!)
Well Melody, you have me in a rage
Whining up on the stage
You feel you are looking cute
But when you finish, take off the dead man suit!
(You shouldn't tell me that
This is what I am compelled to tell you flat
I hope you doesn't say that I am crack
In a while I'll be whining behind yuh back!)
Well believe, don't touch mih flesh
I wouldn't say you fresh
Back to back, belly to belly
And I think you are slack!
