Lyrics A It Mek (original version) - Desmond Dekker

You think I never see you when you jump over de wall

You think I never see you when you accidently fall

Me said a it mek, mek you pop yu bitta gall

A it mek, while you accidently fall

A it mek, hear she crying fe ice water

I check you out and you′re cold, girl

I dig you out and you're cold, girl

Rock it to me children

I told you once and I told you twice

Wha′ sweet nanny goat a go run him belly good

Me said a it mek, mek your pop yu bitta gall

A it mek, while you accidently fall

A it mek, hear she crying fe ice water

I check you out and you're cold, girl

I dig you out and you're cold, girl

Rock it to me children

I told you once and I told you twice

Wha′ sweet nanny goat a go run him belly good

Me said a it mek, mek your pop yu bitta gall

A it mek, while you accidently fall

A it mek, hear she crying fe ice water
