Lyrics Border Patrol - Eek-A-Mouse

Border Patrol

It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive
Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
Going to Miami via Vancouver coming from Jamaica
I was on di outside, for some reason, they won’t let me enter
I went to the border, they say my passport was not in order
Seven of us got back on the bus, felt like a loser
We rent some rooms, we got some food, am I a dreamer
I went to some club, they were playing reggae-rock and blues-a
I know I’m a winner, but this time they say I’m a loser
But, I said, «Hey»;
But, I said, «Hey»
It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive
Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
The next day I came back to the embassy
I was an early birdie at eight-thirty
Set the mouse free, let him enter
Don’t forget, immigrants build this country
Out of all the people me they decided to pull over
«Hey, sir, come this way, you look like somebody we a look for»
Searching my bag, take my shoe, ran it through the computer
Wu-pem-pay
Wu-pem-pem-pem-pem-pem-pay-ow (Who feels it, knows it)
Wu-pem-pay
Wu-pem-pem-pem-pem-pem-pay-ow (I'm about to expose it)
It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive
Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
Cock-a-doodle-doo, doodle-doo, I am no rooster
Stop spinning me around like I’m some roller coaster
You make it seems, I’m the most wanted
Take me out of this room, it’s so scary and haunted
Jamaica, Jamaica, I am a teacher
I’m a singer, I’m an actor, born entertainer
You taken away my passport and my visa
Sending me way back to Jamaica
It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive
Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95
It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive
Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
I was on my way to California coming from Tijuana
I was there with a Mexican who was a Pancho Villa
He said to me, «Do you want burrito, taco or salsa?»
I said, I’ve got to go, I’ve got to go to California
Immigration officer, let me pass the border
You know I’ve got to do a show in Los Angeles, California
It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive
Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
Going to Miami via Vancouver coming from Jamaica
I was on di outside, for some reason, they won’t let me enter
I went to the border, they say my passport was not in order
Seven of us got back on the bus, felt like a loser
We got some food and we got some rooms in Vancouver
We went to some club they were playing reggae-rock and blues-a
I’m kind-a confused-a
I guess I was winner but this time they say I’m the loser
Kind-a confused-a, what I said
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)
I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile
It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive
