[Intro]
Went out to east to check Harry Geez
But Harry Geez happen to be wanted by the bees
But here comes our play, my brand new release
Here comes my play, musical disc to make you jump an' twist
So gather 'round, don't be the clown, when I tell you
Musical show every hour an' di hour (Do it)
Say, come-make we seek him all 'round day
Bam-diddly-bam-bam-diddly, rock it then down deh (Hey)
Cah, make you scrub it then down deh
[Chorus]
Leave fi mi gal Arleen
Man, you better leave fi mi gal Arleen
