| Listen, listen carefully
|
| I am a man does never be sorry
|
| I say, Listen, listen carefully
|
| Sparrow is a man does never be sorry
|
| But I went and vote for some council men
|
| They have me now in the pen
|
| After promising so much tender care
|
| They forget me as they walk out of Woodford Square.
|
| Because they raise up on the taxi fare
|
| (No, Doctor, no!)
|
| Ey! |
| And they have the blasted milk so dear
|
| (No, Doctor, no!)
|
| I want them to remember
|
| We support them in September
|
| They better come good
|
| (Good, good)
|
| Because I have a big piece of mango wood.
|
| Well people, plenty people sorry
|
| Sorry they throw down Big Belly
|
| But not me, I sticking me pressure
|
| When I can’t buy milk, I use sugar and water
|
| Support local industries, they done declare
|
| They mean Vat 19 rum and Carib beer
|
| They way how they forcing we to drink Vat
|
| It look as if they want to kill we in smart.
|
| Oh Lord! |
| They raise up on the taxi fare
|
| (No, Doctor, no!)
|
| And why the blasted milk so dear?
|
| (No, Doctor, no!)
|
| I want you to remember
|
| We support you in September
|
| You better come good
|
| (Good, good)
|
| I still have the big piece of mango wood.
|
| Ey! |
| I only hope they understand
|
| I am only a calypsonian
|
| What I say may be very small
|
| But I know that poor people ent pleased at all.
|
| We are looking for a betterment,
|
| That is why we choose a new government.
|
| But they raise on the food before we could talk,
|
| And they raise taxi fare so we bound to walk.
|
| But still I don’t want them to catch cold sweat
|
| (No, Doctor, no!)
|
| Because this mango wood talk is not a threat
|
| (No, Doctor, no!)
|
| But still they must remember
|
| We support them in September
|
| They better come good
|
| (Good, good)
|
| I have no intention of throwing down my mango wood! |
