Текст песни Sparrow Dead - The Mighty Sparrow

"Something in he bladder..."
"And a double dose of leukemia..."

Two gossip mongers gossipin'
Ah stand up in a corner listenin'
Before I could ask who they talking 'bout
A newspaper boy start to shout

Paper! Extra!
Read all about it!
Paper! Yeah!

Who kill the Sparrow? Nobody know... ("Sparrow dead!")
If you see this woman ("Sparrow dead!")
With a flag in she hand ("Sparrow dead!")
She bang she belly ("Sparrow dead!")
Telling everybody, "Sparrow dead!"
Who kill the Sparrow? Nobody know... Oy!

According to Vickie

Another news monger tell she no
Is the devil take he soul for calypso

Paper! Extra! Extra!

Well big mouth Lillian
Say the funeral was on television
She picky head cousin
Say hmmm, the coffin cost twenty thousand
That is why he sell the company
To pay the doctor and the burial fee
While they talking, up comes big belly Angie
With a paper bawlin' "Girl, all you ain't see?"

Who kill the Sparrow? Nobody know... ("Sparrow dead!")
If you see this woman ("Sparrow dead!")
With a flag in she hand ("Sparrow dead!")
She bang she belly ("Sparrow dead!")
Telling everybody, "Sparrow dead!"
Who kill the Sparrow? Nobody know...

Well that was excitement
Traffic jam, people block the pavement
If you see the commess
Everybody down by the Express
People want to kill Chookolingo
Sparrow just land in Piarco
This time the Evening News led the throng
With another headline by Chester Morong
