Lyrics

Back to back belly to belly
We doh give a damn we done dead already
Back to back belly to belly
Is a jumbie jamboree
Jacob from Panama bring back mih lousy pyjama
Jacob from Panama bring back mih lousy Kimona
Jacob you ent have no behaviour
Big music jam session
Wid some jumbie musician
Music jam session
Wid some jumbie musician
Walkin one night wid Melody
Happen to pass by d cemetery
Music comin from behind d wall wid some voices singin dis jumbie call
Who was d band leader
Nobody else but Glen Miller
Ah make out another player
Mih long time friend Charlie Parker I told the Lord Melody as man
Leh we join in d jumbie jam session
Scale d wall like a towel rack and we land
On two female jumbie back singin
Jacob from Panama
Back to back Belly to belly
We doh give a damn we done dead already
Back to back Belly to belly
Is a jumbie jamboree
Jacob from Panama
 
Dennis Crawford from down south
Wid the alto sax inside mout
Black chop beatin a ping pong
Pillilling pillilling
Well the rydim strong
Sat dong in d grave and ah cock mih ear ah doh see wen Melody disappear
Glen Miller shout out change d key
So dey leave G sharp and dey went to C singin
 
 Jacob from Panama
Music from different nation
Cemetery was in confusion
Grecian Russian and Chinese
Mongolian French and Portugese
Jacob d fella from Panama
Pickin a tune on his old guita
The part that I wont forget
Was a Chinese jumbie on a clarinet
Singin
Jacob from Panama
 
When was time to go
Told misself ah doh want no more
Searchin for Lord Melody
All over de cemetery
I don know why Melody like so much woman
He want more wife than King Solomon
I found him hug up like bride and groom wid two female jumbies inside a tomb singin
Jacob from Panama
 
SALMANA DES COO MAMA DES COO SALMANA
Back to back belly to belly
We doh give a damn
We done ded already
Back to back belly to belly
Is a jumbie jamboree
