Songtexte Steering Wheel - The Mighty Sparrow

She tell me "No, I ain't going Carenage
Stay here in the garage
I am afraid and you know after hours
Down dey have night prowlers
Anything you have to do, do it here
We ain't have nothing to fear"
When I hold she to demonstrate meh plan
Is then the trouble began

She start to working up and working up and working up and working up
And she carrying on
She foot stick in the steering wheel
Blowing the bloody horn
She father come out
One machete in the hand, oh meh Lawd
The old bull start to shout, and what he bawling:

"Shame, Sparrow, shame"
He say "You're spoiling meh daughter name
Sparrow don't come back here again
Supposing meh daughter strain!"

Can you imagine this long-legged woman
In such an awkward position?
And me, a friend of the family
Couldn't be more guilty
If she did keep she tail quiet
Nobody would'a know the garage have activity
But she kicking up like she mad
Waving she leg like a blasted flag

She only working up and working up and working up and working up
And she carrying on
She foot stick in the steering wheel
Blowing the bloody horn
She father come out
One big stick in the hand, oh meh Lawd
The old man start to shout, and what he bawling:

"Shame, Sparrow, shame"
He say "You're spoiling meh daughter name
Sparrow don't come back here again
Supposing meh daughter strain!"

This time the dog started to bark
Don't talk how the garage dark
Ah start to feel in the dark because I can't see
She "What, you tickling me!"
This time she ankle quite by the gear lever
And she big toe hook the indicator
Ah fighting hard to untangle she
But the noise only waking everybody, mama yo!

She working up and working up and working up and working up
And she carrying on
She foot stick in the steering wheel
Blowing the bloody horn... blow blow blow blow
She father come out
One machete in the hand, oh meh Lawd
The old bull start to shout, and what he bawling:

"Shame, Sparrow, shame
He say "You're spoiling meh daughter name
I tell you don't come back here again
Sparrow don't come back here again
Supposing meh daughter strain!"

She little brother and she two nephew
Come outside and peeping too
Ah have toi run away, mama, from the car
Ah couldn't face the grandmother
This time meh jacket flying, meh shoes in meh hand
Meh pants get away from meh midsection
In the dark I stumble and fall
The dog take meh socks, underpants and all

She only working up and working up and working up and working up
And she carrying on
She foot stick in the steering wheel
Blowing the bloody horn... whoa whoa whoa whoa!
