bajan dolphus - mighty sparrow lyrics

[verse 1]
well a big*belly bajan man
he come trinidad playing calypsonian
a big*belly bajan man
jump in a dance playing calypsonian
he say is only because he ain’t like publicity
is why the whole of barbados ain’t know ’bout he
but if we give him a drink, we could hear him sing
he is the bajan calypso king
and then he start with…

[chorus]
twinkle, twinkle little star
oh i wonder what you are
up above the clouds so high
like a diamond in the sky
we say, “sing, dolphus, sing
sing, dolphus, sing
sing ’til your throat get tight
you gotta sing for this rum tonight”

[verse 2]
but the fête now start to swing
everybody mamaguying him
they say, “this here about to win the crown!”
but bajan just singing a set of school song
he say the merry men and them have the fame and thing
but is he who teach all of them to sing
when it comes to sweet calypsoes
he is the best thing in barbados
he gone again with…
[chorus]
georgy porgy puttin’ a fight
kiss the girls and make them cry
and when the boys come out to play
georgy porgy run away
we say, “sing, dolphus, sing (that’s right man)
sing, dolphus, sing
sing ’til your throat get tight
you gotta sing for this rum tonight”

[verse 3]
well ah laughed ’til ah nearly fall
a women hook up the dolphus in the dancehall
this time is only soul she begin
and the bajan man dancing like charlie chaplin
all of a sudden he say, “sugar pie, dou dou
i got the road march for 1972!”
then he beg everybody please gather ’round
to hear he latest calypso song
this time he start with…

[chorus]
baa*baa black sheep, have you any wool?
yes sir, yes sir, three bags full
one for meh master, one for meh dame
and one for the little boy that live down the lane
we say, “sing, dolphus, sing
sing, dolphus, sing
sing ’til your throat get tight
you gotta sing for this rum tonight”
[verse 4]
the bartender get in a rage
n0body ’round the bar, all of them surround baj’
now the people who give the dance
beg baj’ like a child to give them a chance
he say, “ah can’t stop now because ah feeling sweet
when ah finish, ah go to take a seat”
but all the talk he talk was in vain
because he uncoil heself and start back again
this time he start with…

[chorus]
donkey, donkey, old and grey
donkey, let me hear your prayer
donkey, donkey, carry on
donkey raise your tail and blow your h*rn
“sing, dolphus, sing (that’s right!)
sing, dolphus, sing (man!)
sing ’til your throat get tight
you gotta sing for this rum tonight”
