[Intro]
Now many people might know me as Charlie Chaplin
But-a pure good advice I and I bring
So I and I sit down pon the riddim like a lizard pon a limb (Lord)
Natty dread, a dis are one call di "Diet Rock"
Say, dis ya one call di "Diet Rock"
[Chorus]
If you too fat, Lord, you have fi go pon diet
You too rabi-ti-tit, you have fi go pon diet (Gwaan)
[Verse 1]
Drink your juice, mi say that are coconut
Give me mi beetroot, give me mi carrot
Mi auntie an' mi uncle is a pure peacock
But mi mumma an' mi pupa, dem a talk in parrot
Mi say, fi mi surname, Lord, that are Chatterbox
Say, when mi come at dance, man, dem must have fi black
[Chorus]
You too fat, Lord, you have fi go pon diet
But mi say, call mi Charlie but no call mi Chaplin
