Well, people, I and I come again
To teach you roots and culture, my friend
Cah pure reality I and I talk
Boy, everywhere mi go, mi cyaan get this, mi cyaan get that

Dem say that carrot, banana an' skellion sell at market
Dem say that carrot, banana an’ skellion sell at market
But mi say, due to di gasoline crisis
Say, pupa Chaplin have fi walk it
Say, pupa Chaplin have fi walk it (But no fret, hear mi now, star)

[Refrain]
Said, everything mi want, mi have fi get
Said, everything weh mi want, mi have fi get
Say, dis ya principal Chaplin live an' direct
