(No, Doctor, no!)
(No, Doctor, no!)
(Good, good)
Once more, gentlemen!
(No, Doctor, no!)
(No, Doctor, no!)
(Good, good)
[Verse 1]
Listen, listen carefully
I am a man does never be sorry
Listen, listen carefully
I am a man does never be sorry
But I went and vote for some council men
They have me now in the pen
After promising so much tender care
They forget me as they walk out of Woodford Square
[Chorus]
You know they raise up on the taxi fare
(No, Doctor, no!)
And why the blastеd milk so dear
(No, Doctor, no!)
I want them to remеmber
We support them in September
They better come good
(Good, good)
Because I have a big piece of mango wood
[Verse 2]
Well people, plenty people sorry
How they throw down Big Belly
But not me, I sticking me pressure
When I can't buy milk, I use sugar and water
Support local industries, they done declare
They mean Vat 19 rum and Carib beer
They way how they forcing we to drink Vat
It look as if they want to kill we in smart
[Chorus]
You know they raise up on the taxi fare
(No, Doctor, no!)
Tell me why the blasted milk so dear
(No, Doctor, no!)
I want you to remember
We support you in September
You better come good
(Good, good)
I still have a big piece of mango wood
[Verse 3]
Well I only hope they understand
I am only a calypsonian
What I say may be very small
But I know that poor people ain't pleased at all
We are looking for a betterment
That is why we choose a new government
But they raise on the food before we could talk
And they raise taxi fare so we bound to walk
[Chorus]
They even raise up on paraguas
(No, Doctor, no!)
That's why meh saying and going is catching on fast
(No, Doctor, no!)
I want you to remember
We support you in September
You better come good
(Good, good)
I still have a big piece of mango wood
(No, Doctor, no!)
(No, Doctor, no!)
(Good, good)
Once more, gentlemen!
(No, Doctor, no!)
(No, Doctor, no!)
