[Intro]
[Scatting] (Lord-a)
Weh make di obeah man a chant so? (Woy-a)
Weh make di obeah man a chant?

[Refrain]
All these girls that's makin' wedding plans (Ah-ay)
Carryin' my name to obeah man (Oh Lord)
All dem do, dem nah get through
'Cause di obeah man have one bandulu (Well, hear mi now)

[Chorus]
Obeah man a no smad you fi di pen-pan
Cah, obeah man a no smad you fi di pen-pan

[Verse 1]
Say, when him get your money, him a look something fi nyam
When him get your money, him a look something fi nyam
Cah, four pound of chicken and five pound of yam
Mi say, non-stop until him belly get ram
Say, out of you him buy house an' land
Say, out of you him buy a criss mini van

[Chorus]
Obeah man a no smad you fi di pen-pan
Obeah man a no smad you fi di pen-pan

[Verse 2]
A lot of tings to rise, a lot of tings to fall
Di obeah man a look in a him crystal ball
Look pon you an' a tell you pure lie
Nowadays obeah man full of samphire
Him spread a white sheet with rice an' goat meat
An' when you nah look, is it him a go eat
A when you turn 'round, him say, "A duppy do it"
Him get so fed up, you just kiss your teeth

[Chorus]
Obeah man a no smad you fi di pen-pan
Say, obeah man a no smad you fi di pen-pan (So)

[Refrain]
All these girls that's makin' wedding plan (Ah-ay)
Carryin' my name to obeah man (Oh Lord)
All dem do, dem nah get through
'Cause di obeah man have one bandulu (Well, hear mi so)

[Verse 3]
Dem rub you with oil, you broke out in a boil
Him rub you little more an' you broke out in a sore
You go to a doctor, you cyaan find no cure
Not to mention how di [?] stink
An' anywhere you go, you left a load of ting
In case you don't know what dat mean, sister
It mean di obeah bag fire
It mean di obeah bag fire
Beca' di obeah man is a liar
The way how you vex, you go an' get a lawyer

[Chorus]
Him a no smad you fi di pen-pan (Hey!)
Him a no smad you fi di pen-pan

[Outro]
Mi have dis little girl by di name of Jaqueline
Mi have dis little girl by di name of Jaqueline
She try fi tie mi so mi give her a beatin'
She try to tie mi, mi give her beatin'
While beatin' her, I started to sing
Let mi go, girl, let mi go tour di world (Lord)
