Landlord and Tenant |
| (A who dat a knock so early, sir? |
| -A me, «Nine-finger» the rentie Idren) |
| Woy, what a pressure |
| Landlord a pressure tenants |
| Woy, what a pressure |
| Landlord a pressure tenant |
| Everywhere you can turn in town |
| You hear people saying house rent too high |
| Yes everywhere you can turn in town |
| The poor people crying house rent too high |
| Your rent one this month for fifty dollars |
| You live there two months it raise to sixty dollars |
| If you have any children, you can’t get it |
| No matter what the price, you ha fe gladly take it |
| Every three weeks the rent man come |
| With him bodyguard and him big, long gun |
| You can’t tell him seh you no have it |
| Anyway deh you have to try find it |
| Or else him coming back with the bailiff man |
| Coming in a van with two police men |
| And one thing you must understand |
| If you even get drop him nah get no wrong |
| Woy, what a pressure |
| Landlord a pressure tenant |
| Woy, woy, woy, what a pressure, hey |
| Landlord, dem a pressure tenants |
| My landlord is a cruel man |
| A man that no one can understand |
| Every time the rent near fe due |
| That is the time when my landlord screw |
| And when him collect, him smile again |
| That’s the only time me and him are friend |
| But that friendship only lasts for three weeks |
| 'Cause three weeks' time the rent drew again |
