Mathilda (Calypso) |
| Hey! |
| Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela |
| Once again now! |
| Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela |
| Five hundred dollars, friends, I lost: |
| Woman even sell me cart and horse! |
| Heya! |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela |
| Everybody! |
| (Matilda,) Sing out the chorus |
| (Matilda,) Sing a little louder |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela |
| Once again now! |
| (Matilda,) Going 'round the corner |
| (Matilda,) Sing out the chorus |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela |
| Well, the money was to buy me house an' lan' |
| Then she got a serious plan |
| A-hey, ah! |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela |
| Everybody! |
| (Matilda |
| Matilda |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) |
| Once again now! |
| (Matilda,) Going 'round the corner |
| (Matilda |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) |
| Well, the money was just inside me bed |
| Stuck up in a pillow beneath me head |
| Don’t you know |
| Matilda, she found me money and… |
| Everybody… |
| (Matilda |
| Matilda |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) |
| Once again now! |
| (Matilda,) Hooma locka chimba |
| (Matilda,) Bring me little water |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela |
| Women over forty? |
| (Matilda |
| Matilda |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) |
| Everybody! |
| (Matilda,) Goin' round the corner |
| (Matilda,) Bring me little water |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela |
| Well, me friends, never to love again |
| All me money gone in vain! |
| Uh, heya… |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela |
| Everybody! |
| (Matilda |
| Matilda,) Oom, ba-locka-chimba! |
| (Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) |
| Sing a little softer! |
| (Matilda |
| Matilda |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.) |
| EVERYBODY! |
| (Matilda |
| Matilda,) Sing out the chorus! |
| Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela! |
