By Mighty Sparrow
INTRO
A1 - CHORUS
Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,
Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broken, you can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row, the yankees gone and Sparrow take over now
Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,
Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broke, you can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row, the yankees gone and Sparrow take over now
B1 - VERSE
Well the girls in town feeling bad
No more Yankees in Trinidad
They going to close down the base for good
Them girls have to make out how they could
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
A2 - CHORUS
So when you bounce up Jean and Dinah Rosita and Clementina,
Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broken, you can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row, the yankees gone, the Sparrow take over now
Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,
Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broke, you can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row, the yankees gone and Sparrow take over now
B2 - VERSE
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
And as we have things back in control
Ah seeking revenge with me heart and soul
Brother when I spread the news around
Is to see how them cave men come into town
A3 - CHORUS
Just to see Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,
Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broke, you can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row, the yankees gone and Sparrow take over now
Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,
Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broke, you can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row, the yankees gone and Sparrow take over now
SOLOS (on INTRO)
A4 - CHORUS
So when you bounce up Jean and Dinah, Rosita and Clementina,
Round the corner posing, bet your life is something they selling
And if you catch them broke, you can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row, the yankees gone, 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 catch them broke, you can get em all for nothing
Don't make no row, the yankees gone, Sparrow take over now
B4 (on cue)
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 what she get
All of them who used to make style
While they taking two shillling with a smile
No more hotel to rest your head
By the sweat of thy brow thou shall eat bread
NEXT SOLO (on INTRO)
C1 - CHORUS
The Lizard run up she foot and it dissappear,
Everybody keeps searching everywhere,
Where the lizard, teacher Mildred?
Under she dress, taking a rest
The way she jolly and happy, I swear the lizard must be tickling she!
D1 - HORNS
During horns:
(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 all frightened, wonder what will happen
But the teacher laughing all hee hee hee while watching everybody
C2 - CHORUS
The Lizard run up she foot and it dissappear,
Everybody keeps searching everywhere,
Where the lizard, teacher Mildred?
Under she desk, taking a rest
The way she jolly and happy I swear the lizard must be tickling she!

Carrying me name to Obeah man
All you do can't get through
I still ain't goin' marry to you!
G1 - HORNS
H1 - VERSE
You making yourself a pappy show Melda

And you can't trap me

The amount of incense that you burn at night

So much different colour candles that you light
Rubbing red lavender in you face
