The Party |
A woman write a letter to the doc inquiring |
«Tell me why you ban B.G. |
plantain» |
«Doctor,» she said, «I am inquiring |
Why de hell you ban B.G. |
plantain? |
Doctor, I can’t take it no longer |
Like if you want me to suffer with hunger |
Trinidad plantain ain’t good at all |
And so the men making style wid dem, so they small» |
But one B.G. |
plantain does full up de pot |
It’s so satisfying, 'specially when hot |
Lord knows ah suffering |
Since you ban B.G. |
plantain |
It is to much to bear |
Doctor, you too unfair |
I will do anything |
To taste a B.G. |
plantain |
Dear Doctor, I hope you will agree |
To change the law and show some sympathy |
Even tho' you are angry with B. G |
Why should you make we pay de penalty? |
You say you want us to use local plantain |
But dis is one time you ain’t know wha' you doing |
De plantain here in this place |
Too small, too soft, and got no blasted taste |
But one B.G. |
plantain does full up de pot |
It’s so satisfying, 'specially when hot |
Lord knows ah suffering |
Since they ban B.G. |
plantain |
It is to much to bear |
Doctor, you too unfair |
I will do anything |
To taste a B.G. |
plantain |
Woy oy oy |
Aye aye aye, mama |
She tell me even when she sleeping it’s confusion |
Dreaming how she have a big plantain in she hand |
«Mister,» she said, «ah going staring mad |
You can’t imagine how ah want dis thing so bad» |
Freighter from B.G. |
so I send de girl by him |
When she come back she fuming and cussing |
Asking if I ain’t hear wha' she say |
She want plantain and I send she for sikiye |
But one B.G. |
plantain does full up de pot |
Lord knows ah suffering |
Since they ban B.G. |
plantain |
It is to much to bear |
Doctor, you too unfair |
I will do anything |
To taste a B.G. |
plantain |
Since de B.G. |
boat don’t bring plantain again |
Only up in Toco you could find some good size grain |
De vendors in de city only fas and bobol face |
Except for Massy Fay and big-nose Amal Bess |
Still dem is joke to real B.G. |
plantain |
When it hanging on de tree it still dragging |
Long like a man hand, tough like iron |
Dat is why ah want de Doctor to raise de ban |
One B.G. |
plantain does full up de pot |
It’s so satisfying, 'specially when hot |
Lord knows ah suffering |
Since they ban B.G. |
plantain |
It is to much to bear |
Doctor, you too unfair |
I will do anything |
To taste a B.G. |
plantain |
