Lyrics The Eye and the Finger - The Mighty Sparrow

Big news from a scientist, it ain't no lie
Everybody in the world will have a next eye
News from a scientist, it ain't no lie
Everybody in the world will have a next eye
I am sure plenty people will be mislead
By putting it in the back of their head
If ah tell you what meh mother and meh father did
They put they own on the centre of their forehead

Partner, put mine on meh middle finger
And the Sparrow will be happy as ever
Because meh hand fast
Ah want to see where my finger does pass

A certain footballer as we all know
Say he want to put his own on he toe
He wouldn't mind what people will say at all
He only want to see how to kick the ball
I think it's a very foolish thing to do
Because it will get squeeze up in your shoe
Furthermore ah think it's thoroughly wrong
It bound to smell stink in your watchekong

Believe me, put mine on meh middle finger
And the Sparrow will be happy as ever
Because meh hand fast
Ah want to see where my finger does pass

Sometimes you might be killing a duck
In a hurry before the owner come from work
This time is to see how you doing it quick
No time to see if the duckling sick
You cut 'way the throat, you play with the feather
When you finish, you throw your hot water
Put the meat to you mouth, then you start to bawl
The duck sick, so you end up in the hospital

Oh Lawd, but if you eye was on you middle finger
I am sure you would examine it closer
And by that time you would have proof
To know that the duck suffering from spoof

Oh oh oh...
