Mr. Robinson & Lock Joint |
| Port of Spain got sewerage scheme |
| Well it’s now here clean |
| Port of Spain got sewerage scheme |
| Well it’s now here clean |
| Lock Joint are picking up all the waste |
| From your place and that’s the case |
| I think it’s a job of class |
| The only dirty place now is the La Basse |
| Let me tell you: |
| I believe in sanitation (it is a good thing) |
| But Mr Robinson and Lock Joint (pulling and tugging) |
| You see, you got to buy food, you got to eat good |
| Before Lock Joint get something |
| But the taxman so fierce, th food getting scarce |
| Them pip go live on wind |
| The big, big pipes that does carry plenty load |
| Down Mucurapo road |
| Well, the only impression that I got |
| St. James people does eat a lot |
| Diego Martin ain’t making fun |
| With some good size one, just like in town |
| But Belmont and Laventille |
| Have the smallest switch pipe I ever see |
| Whey you talking? |
| The people they got in Belmont (also Laventille) |
| Can’t supply Lock Joint with nothing (in a quantity) |
| You see, they got to buy food, they got to eat good |
| Before Lock Joint get something |
| But the taxman so fierce, the food getting scarce |
| Them pipe going to live on wind |
| All through the city is big hole |
| Motor car lost control |
| Man, you bumping up like your riding on a camel |
| Dust block up your nostril |
| In New York you know about instant coffee |
| Instant tea for when you’re in a hurry |
| But in town here the case is blood |
| Every instant you inhale it’s instant mud |
| Have you ever seen a cowboy (lassoing cattle) |
| Kerchief round he nose through the dust (that was strong people) |
| If you ain’t sneezing, it’s then you stifling |
| You fighting to stay healthy |
| Lock Joint is good for us but please keep down the dust |
| Them pipes going to stay empty |
| Dungaree and khaki is the thing |
| That is all people wearing |
| Executives and men who out on strike |
| Toute moune dress alike |
| When the wind blow for miles around |
| All through town, every building brown |
| You working hard to get it complete |
| But to know if it working we got to eat |
| Whey you talking? |
| I believe in sanitation (it is a good thing) |
| Mr Robinson and Lock Joint (pulling and tugging) |
| You got to buy food, you got to eat good |
| Before Lock Joint get something |
| But the taxman so fierce, the food getting scarce |
| Them pipe going to live on wind |
