Sparrow Is a Bird

They telling me that I must take a wife
But ah don't intend to change meh life
Sparrow, you ought to take a wife
But Sparrow don't intend to change he life
Since ah born ah living bachelor
Ah have a room and ah have me motor car
Is to see me in the evening cruising 'round
Ah have about twenty girls in town

No woman can't trap me
Unless she got a lot, a lot of money
Sparrow is a bird flying from tree to tree
Why must I buy a cow when I know how to get milk free?

Ah had a little girl named Stephanie
Who used to work for good money
Well, unfortunately
She lost the job so suddenly
As you know I eh working no way
Ah have to eat and drink three times a day
So ah pick up with Joyce from the night club
Until Stephanie find she self a job

Looking for money
No woman is settling down with me
Sparrow is a bird flying from tree to tree
Why must I buy a cow when I know how to get milk free?

Anyone with common sense would see
I have the greatest policy
It's a waste of time and energy
If you should say you disagree
If she got no cash, no property
Tell her I say "keep away from me"
Love I know nothing about
It's a long time since me love teeth drop out

Now ah looking for money
Otherwise they ain't trapping me
Sparrow is a bird flying from tree to tree
Why must I mind a bee when I getting the honey free?

Once upon a time I was a fool
Because I used to be too cool
Ah had a love, a girl named Lucy
Father had a big big grocery
I remember well saying "Honey
I'm in love with you, not your money
So carry your father money back"
Now ah feel I could kick myself for that

Ah looking for money
No woman ain't trapping me
I say Sparrow is a bird flying from tree to tree
Why must I buy a cow when I know how to get milk free?
