Once there was a cCricket and there was a set of Ants
The Cricket loved to play, his fiddle in summertime and sing
And then it start to rain, Cricket run to the Ants
And say, "Ants, may I have some food"
Ant say, "Cricket, where were you during summer and spring"
He say, "Ant, I was playing, my romantic fiddle and songs"
He say, "Cricket, now won't you listen to me
Won't you go back and play your fiddle and sing so man"

Be not like the foolish virgins
Who took oil in their lamps
Yet none in there lousy vessels
And decide to trod to Canaan land
And when their oils gone out
They turn to the wise virgin and say
May I have some of your oil
To throw in my lamp to meet the bridegroom
Wise one say to them say
Go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourself
And when they turn back they were all gone out late
And could never ever, ever see the bridegroom at all

So mind who you run to, brother fe go beg for help
His clothes stuck in a bracket
Mind who you run to, brother fe go beg for help
Mek water can boil, come skin
Mind who you run to, brother fe go beg for help
Beggy beggy licky lick him
Mind who you run to, brother fe go beg for help
Mind begging too much, they take liberty a you.
