Suzy Jumbie |
| An ugly woman named Suzy Jumbie |
| Selling roast corn in Sangre Grande |
| She win a sweepstakes there recently |
| And stop selling corn immediately |
| No man never look at she twice |
| But now they saying how she so nice |
| She listening to them attentively |
| And than tell all of them candidly: |
| «When I had no money |
| Nobody didn’t want me |
| Now I win a little bit of money |
| All you buying me company |
| I don’t want nobody |
| I ain’t care if all you want me |
| Any man that want to want me |
| Must have more money than me, Suzy Jumbie» |
| If you see all thm big time doctors |
| Magistrates and big lawyers |
| You won’t blieve they done married already |
| And still they promising matrimony |
| Saying how she so lovely and exquisite |
| The image of Princess Margaret |
| All this mamaguism and flattery |
| Had no effect on Suzy |
| «When I had no money |
| Nobody didn’t want me |
| Now I win a little bit of money |
| All you buying me company |
| Because I ain’t want nobody |
| I ain’t care if all you want me |
| Any man that wants to want me |
| Must have more money than me, Suzy Jumbie» |
| I see a saga boy shedding tears |
| Saying he love Suzy for donkey years |
| And he just can’t take it no longer again |
| His love for her driving him insane |
| No sleep, no food, morning, noon, or night |
| Her lovely face always in sight |
| He got to turn the face, he can’t look at she |
| But he talking about matrimony |
| She tell him: |
| «When I had no money |
| Saga, you didn’t want me |
| Now I win a little bit of money |
| You buying me company |
| I ain’t want nobody |
| I ain’t care if all you want me |
| Any man that wants to want me |
| Must have more money than me» |
| One day an ugly-no-teeth fellow name Laddy |
| He went up to Sangre Grande |
| Bounced up Suzy one Saturday night |
| And she fell madly in love at first sight |
| An old Taxi driver from Port of Spain |
| You know the criminal got brain |
| He milk she dry, he pull out and gone |
| Suzy gone back to selling roast corn |
| For when she had she money |
| She always had company |
| Play smart for everybody |
| But she get trap with no-teeth laddie |
| Moco Jumbie Suzy, boy she really looking sad |
| Every penny she make nowadays |
| She buying sweepstakes like if she mad |
