Lyrics
Well it's Jean and Dinah
Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you ketch dem broke
You can get 'em all for nothing
Don't make a row
The Yankees gone and Sparrow take over, ah
Jean and Dinah
Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you ketch dem broke
You can get 'em all for nothing
Don't make a row
The Yankees gone and Sparrow take over now
Well the girls in town feeling bad
No more Yankees in Trinidad
They gonna close dung place for good
Them girls have to make out how they could
Yeah, brother is now they park up in town
In for a penny and in for a pound
Believe me it's competition for so
Trouble in the town when the price drop low
So when it bounce up
Jean and Dinah
Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you ketch dem broke
You can get 'em all for nothing
Don't make a row
The Yankees gone and Sparrow take over, ah
Jean and Dinah
Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you ketch dem broke
You can get 'em all for nothing
Don't make a row
The Yankees gone and Sparrow take over now
Things bad is to hear them cry
Not a sailor in town, the night clubs dry
Only West Indians like me or you
Going to get a drink or two
Brother if we have things back in control
I seeking revenge with me heart and soul
When I spread this news around
Is to see how them cave men come to town
Just to meet Miss
Jean and Dinah
Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you ketch dem broke
You can get 'em all for nothing
Don't make a row
The Yankees gone and Sparrow take over, ah
Jean and Dinah
Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you ketch dem broke
You can get 'em all for nothing
Don't make a run
The Yankees gone and Sparrow take over now
It's the glamour boys again
We are going to rule Port of Spain
No more Yankees to spoil the fete
Dorothy have to take weh she get
All of them who used to make style
They get 2 Shillling with a smile
No more hotel to rest your head
By the sweat of thy brow, thou shall eat bread
Mama you're with
Jean and Dinah
Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you ketch dem broke
You can get 'em all for nothing
Don't make a row
The Yankees gone and Sparrow take over now, ah
Jean and Dinah
Rosita and Clementina
Round the corner posing
Bet your life is something they selling
And if you ketch dem broke
You can get 'em all for nothing
Don't make a row
The Yankees gone and Sparrow take over now
The lizard run up she foot and it disappear
Everybody keeps searching everywhere
Where the lizard, teacher Mildred?
Under she dress, taking a rest
The way she jolly and happy
I sure di lizard must be tickling she
(Where the lizard, teacher Mildred?!)
The way she jolly and happy, he-he!
Playing in class with a lizard in a glass
The lizard get away from Ruth
And run by the teacher foot
Oh Lord, the children frightened
Wonder what will happen
But the teacher laughing all hee-hee-hee
Only watching everybody
The lizard run up she foot and it disappear
Everybody keeps searching everywhere
Where the lizard, teacher Mildred?
Under she desk, taking a
The way she jolly and happy
I'm sure the lizard must be tickling she
Melda oh, you making wedding plan
Carrying me name to obeah man
All you do, can't get through
I still ain't goin' marry to you
You making yourself a pappy show Melda
You making yourself a bloody clown
Up and dung the country looking for obeah
And your perspiration smell so strong
Girl you only wasting time
Obeah wedding bells don't chime
And you can't trap me
With necromancy
Melda oh, you making wedding plan
Carrying me name to obeah man
All you do, can't get through
I still ain't goin' marry to you
The amount a incense that you burn at night
Laad and garlic stinking up mi place, uh
So much different colour cangles that you light
Rubbing red lavender in you face
Nastiness going cause your death
Girl no man cyaan stand your breath
You too damn nasty
Get away from me
Melda oh, you making wedding plan
Carrying me name to obeah man
All you do, can't get through
I still ain't goin' marry to you

Me friends and me family
All man fed up with me, 'cause I

Every weekend I in the jail
Drunk and disorderly
Nobody to stand me bail
