0

[Intro]
Under seventeen or you're over sixteen?
Under seventeen or you're over sixteen?
I beg you, rock an' come in
Because, a one General in a di yard
A one General in a di yard

[Chorus]
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Beca' mi went pon a housing scheme (Fi what?)
Fi go check out di gal Arleen
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream

[Verse 1]
You shouldn't soil mi gabardine
You shouldn't soil mi gabardine
Mi say, go wash it at the stream
Mi say, go wash it at the stream

[Chorus]
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Every time she see me, she want ice cream
Hold her pon her hand an' she started to scream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream

[Verse 2]
Mi say, di gal Arleen, she love wear green
Every time mi check her, she a cook sardine
When mi take her out she wouldn't stop eat bean
Lord, you should-a hear her just a ask mi fi bean
"One little beans, two little beans
Three little beans and a more beans please"

[Chorus]
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Send her in mi house fi go cook an' clean
When mi take a stop, she a read magazine
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream

[Bridge]
You shouldn't tear mi gabardine
You shouldn't tear mi gabardine
Mi say, go stitch it pon machine
Mi say, go stitch it pon machine

[Verse 3]
Because, papa Riley send mi dung at riverside
Fi go hear dem sing dis-a Rub-a-Dub
Hard, di people love it so
And Jah Jah know it have fi reach number one

[Chorus]
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
You shouldn't soil mi gabardine
You shouldn't soil mi gabardine
Mi say, go wash it at the stream
Mi say, go wash it at the stream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream

[Verse 4]
Because a one General in a di yard
A one General in a di yard
Whether home guard or a whether bodyguard
A one General in a di yard

[Outro]
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Every night mi check you, you a cook sardine
Every night mi check you, you a cook sardine
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Arleen, a mussi dream you the dream
Every time mi check you, you ask mi fi bean
