Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You making yourself a pappy show Melda
You making yourself a bloody clown
Up and down the country looking for Obeah
And you perspiration smell so strong
[Verse 2]
Well, girl, you only wasting your time
Obeah wedding bells don't chime
And you can't trap me
With necromancy, ha-ha
[Verse 3]
Melda, oh, you making wedding plans
Carrying me name to Obeah, man
All you do, can't get through
I still ain't going marry to you
[Verse 4]
If you really want a wedding ring, Melda
There are many other ways and means
Like scrubbing your teeth and bathing regular
Soap and water keeps you fresh and clean
[Verse 5]
Well, nastiness going cause your death
Girl, no man can stand your breath
You too damn nasty, get away from me
[Verse 6]
Melda, oh, you making wedding plan
Carrying me name to Obeah, man
All you do, can't get through
I still ain't going marry to you, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
[Verse 7]
Look how many nights we hug up tight, tight, tight
All we ever know was love and peace
Now every minute is only fight, fight, fight, fight
Till you using Obeah man for priest
[Verse 8]
You don't seem to understand
Obeah, can't upset my plan
For Papa Niser
The Obeah man is me Grandfather
[Verse 9]
Melda, oh, you making wedding plan
Carrying me name to Obeah, man
All you do, can't get through
I still ain't going marry to you
