Vanity Lyrics by Sugar Minott

Showcase

0

[Intro]
There is a message in what I've got to say to you...

[Verse 1]
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
But Old King Cole lost all his gold
And now he's crying, you see

[Hook 1]
Don't put your trust in vanity for it will let you down
Don't put your trust in vanity for you'll be underground
Like, Humpty Dumpty sat upon the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All of his friends, and the money they spent
Couldn't get Humpty together again

[Hook 2]
Don't put your trust in vanity
For only Jah can help you and set you free

[Verse 2]
Little Miss Mary, you're quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells
And all too and fro

[Chorus]
Vanity
A vanity
Spoiling humanity
Vanity

[Verse 3]
It is easier for a camel...
To go into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of Zion

[Chorus]
Vanity
A pure vanity
Spoiling
Spoiling...humanity

[Verse 3]
It is easier for a camel...
To go into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of zion

[Verse 4]
Jack and Jill went up that hill
To rob the dreadlocks of his skill
Dreadly went down and broke their crown
And now they are under the ground

[Hook 1]
Don't put your trust in vanity for it will let you down

[Musical Interlude]

[Chorus]
A pure vanity
Spoiling
Spoiling...humanity

[Verse 3]
It is easier for a camel...
To go into the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter in the kingdom of Zion

[Verse 4]
Jack and Jill went up that hill
To rob the dreadlocks of his skill
Dreadly went down and broke their crown
And now they are under the ground

[Hook 1]
Don't put your trust in vanity for it will let you down
Don't put your trust in vanity for you'll be underground

[Outro]
Vanity
A vanity
Spoiling humanity
A vanity
Pure red eye in this time
A vanity
