Take Yuh Meat Out Muh Rice Lyrics by Lord Kitchener

1964

A Bajan and a Trinidadian
Dying with starvation
The Bajan say
Look, trini, let we make a cook
I cook the rice, you cook the meat
Then we going both have something to eat
But when the pot was nearly begun
The Bajan decide to pull a fast one
[Chorus]
He said Trini
I'm a born Barba'jan
I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion
Man, I stick for my right
You put in a twelve cents meat bone
You worse than a lice
I going give you a word of advice
Take your meat out me rice!
Trini got in a big rage
What wrong with you baj?
I gonna tell you flat
Baj, I ain't taking that
When we were shopping we both agreed
The food would be cook and shared equally
I put me last penny in this meat
And I ain't moving until I eat
[Chorus]
Baj' said Trini
I'm a born Barba'jan
I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion
Man, I die for my right
You put in a ten cents meat bone
You think that is nice
Well don't make me have to tell you twice
Take your meat out me rice!
The Bajan then said to trini
Man, don't tell lies from me
I never told you that we going join our cook up in two
What I mention I can repeat
I said to lend me a piece of meat
Trini so vexed, he begin to cry
Baj, in front me eye, you tellin a lie!
[Chorus]
Baj' said Trini
I'm a born Barba'jan
I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion
Man, I die for my right
You put in a nice cents meat bone
Good lord! you want half a slice!
If you don't want a bajan ice
Take your meat out me rice!
By this time the pot finish
Trini pick up a dish
The bajan said no! no! no!
Never happen so!
If you wanted something to eat
Man, take a fork and pick out you meat
But if you have one grain a rice
The christ, I squeeze you throat like a vice
[Chorus]
Trini
I'm a born Barba'jan
I don't like to fight
But when come to the occasion
Man, I die for my right
You put in a eight cents meat bone
You Trinidadian lice!
Before I squeeze you like ice
Take your meat out me rice!
