Lyrics Sparrow Dead - Mighty Sparrow

Sparrow Dead

«Something in he bladder…»
«And a double dose of leukemia…»
Two gossip mongers gossipin'
I stand up in a corner listenin'
Before I could ask who dey talking 'bout,
A newspaper boy start to shout, hey!
Extra!
Read all about it!
Who kill de Sparrow?
Nobody know…
(«Sparrow dead!»)
If you see dis woman
(«Sparrow dead!»)
Wid a flag in she hand
(«Sparrow dead!»)
She bang on she belly
(«Sparrow dead!»)
Tellin' everybody
(«Sparrow dead!»)
Who kill de Sparrow?
Nobody know…
Well big mouth Lillian
Say the funeral was on television
She picky head cousin say
«Mmmhumm, de coffin cost twenty thousand
That is why he sell de company
To pay de doctor and de burial fee»
While she talking up come big Belly Angie
With a paper bawlin' «Girl, all you ain’t see?»
Oh, you read it?
I’m gon' tell you:
Who kill de Sparrow?
Nobody know…
(«Sparrow dead!»)
If you see de woman
(«Sparrow dead!»)
Wid a flag in she hand
(«Sparrow dead!»)
She bang she belly
(«Sparrow dead!»)
Tellin' everybody
(«Sparrow dead!»)
Who kill de Sparrow?
Nobody know…
Well dat was excitement
Traffic jam, people block de pavement
Mama look at commerce
Everybody done ride de express
If people want to kill, choke or leggo
Sparrow just land in
This time the evening news led de throng
That another had lain by Chester Marong, hey!
Read all about it!
Extra!
Who kill de Sparrow?
Nobody know…
(«Sparrow dead!»)
If you see dis woman
(«Sparrow dead!»)
Wid that flag in she hand
(«Sparrow dead!»)
She bang she belly
(«Sparrow dead!»)
Tellin' everybody
(«Sparrow dead!»)
Who kill de Sparrow?
Nobody know…
