Roy Sweeter Than You |
| Oh he ain’t working, no way |
| He ain’t getting no pay |
| He never have money |
| And he always hungry |
| The woman make up she mind |
| She ain’t want no man make she see hard time |
| So, as he went off to Barbados |
| She marry to Roy and throw out he clothes |
| She write and tell him: |
| «Darling, this is goodbye |
| Darling, don’t worry to cry, cry, cry |
| Oh honey, I know how you feel, love |
| And your love is real |
| I can’t help it, dou dou» |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| Yes, you think what she said was true? |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| Nah, ah know you believe it too |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| Marjorie, you inside this callaloo |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| Yes, you eat all the callaloo |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) (x4) |
| Yes, the woman was candid |
| The saga man take too much for granted |
| And he always sweaty |
| Smelling like a fish vendor on the jetty |
| Then the woman bounce with Roy |
| Who is a much more refined and decent boy |
| She let go saga man so cool: |
| «Go in the ring and take cuff, you big belly fool!» |
| «Darling, this is goodbye |
| Darling, don’t worry to cry, cry, cry |
| Oh honey, I know how you feel, love |
| And your love is real |
| I can’t help it, dou dou!» |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| So you be in the wedding too |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| Yes, you eat all the callaloo |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| Frankie, you believe it too? |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| I wish I was there to get a piece of manicou |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| (Roy sweeter than you!)(x4) |
| Then they had an at all talk |
| Saga man say he want to go to New York |
| He can’t get a visa |
| The police record too bad, he can’t go away |
| All ah that have him mad |
| Life was really getting hard |
| So now he out to destroy |
| Walkin' round with a big dagger to kill Roy |
| Now what’s the chorus: |
| «Darling, boy this is goodbye |
| Darling, don’t worry to cry, cry, cry, oh yeah |
| Honey, I know how you feel, love |
| And your love is real |
| I can’t help it, dou dou!» |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| Yes, you kill Roy believe it too |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| Frankie, you was in the wedding too |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| You eat all the grub and callaloo |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| I wish I was there to taste all the manicou |
| (Roy sweeter than you!) |
| (Roy sweeter than you!)(x7) |
