Half a book an half a pencil, yuh gawn a school
Bullo slush an suck suck, yuh belly must full
Coconut brush an red oak dye, floor haffie shine
Pick yuh owna tambrin switch, keep yuh in line
Reuse tea bag an teck pot water buss gas
Fowl under bucket, chop off di head wid a las
Coconut bough fi cricket bat, milk box fi yuh ball
Walk wid shoes inna hand, entime rain start fi fall
Fry up overnight dumpling, what a sinting sweet!
Condensed milk an bread, a just so wi dweet
Flour cork hole inna pot, blue soap patch wash pan
Wi Kin Teet Kibba Heart Bun, a just so wi tan
