Текст песни This Old Man - Peter Metro

Lord have mercy, first choice I tell you
Swing to the king, mi lion
How you see me, no bother see me
Cos mi nuh see you
Murderer style
Hear me no soup, hear me no soup, uuh

Say this old man, say he play one
Is I man Mr Metro at the microphone stand
Mi born with a-dub plate in a-mi hand
Jamaica produce a lotta champion

Say this old man, say he play two
The girls them nowadays them a-really chuckyboo
As Sally come so them want something new
Especial to the girl a-wey them call Pinkyloo

But this old man, say he play three
Say nothing in this world impossible to me
To swim on dry land and I will walk pon the sea
Around the microphone mi nuh look sleepy

But this old man, say he play four
The first house mi buy dong a-Ecuador
Them thief up the window, them thief up the door
A-when the rain fall mi hafe sleep on the floor

But this old man, say he play five
Them don't want fe let me make mi struggle and strive
Them want I fe end up like Bonny and Clyde
Them want me fe up dong a-Marcus Garvey drive

But this old man, say he play six
I tell you, Mr Metro, say you full of lyrics
Mi chat it in a-culture and in a-slackness
Mi chat it in a-Spanish and in a-English

Say this old man, say he play seven
Say mi is a-deejay wey don't craven
Mi don't eat no cake, a-daisy cabin raisin
Mi favourite mango a-number eleven

But this old man, say he play eight
Say great is greater you must never underrate
You catch them and leave it pon your cassette and tape
A-when you go home a-mi you start to imitate

But this old man, say he play nine
Say so many youth are turning to crime
Say if I coulda turn back the hands of time
Say look in a-yourself mi a-beg you mankind

But this old man, say he play ten
Mi wife and mi sweetheart them just can be friend
Cos one live a-five, and one live a-ten
Say one a-use pencil, and one a-use pen
Murderer style, Lord, have mercy
Tilly bout it dread eeh yuh
Because of tilly
