[Intro]
Do mi this call "The Spring Valley Lake"
So, wine come with a slice of the cake
A great is great, could never underrate
Want to achieve, you got to [?] (Flash it!)
[Chorus]
Every morning I get up through mi milk an' cornflakes (Every)
Morning I get up through mi milk an' cornflakes
In my lunch pan, a rice an' peas with steak
I was going to my bus like it Spring Valley lake (Some a)
Drive with mi car, but it don't have no brake
When a we a driving, say, di independent man a shake (For, mi say)
Take out a shout if you have a bellyache (For, mi say)
Take out your teeth if you have a toothache
In a California there's a lot of earthquake
Love see di horse when dem left of a di gate
Love fi see di jockey when they ride around di street (Beca' mi)
Ride pon mi book, a mi no ride pon slate
[Verse 1]
Monkey is a monkey an' a ape is a ape
Monkey eat banana but di ape eat grape
Listen mister Demus well united state
Mi say, some sound light, like a curry on plate
Know, say, Stereo Mars, every dancehall a him get
Hear Dancehall, a Danny Dread, put down di dumpling
Nicodemus-Super Cat, dem make dem come through di gate
[Chorus]
Every morning I get up through mi milk an' cornflakes
An' in my lunch pan, a rice an' peas with steak
I was going to my bus like it Spring Valley lake (Some a)
Drive with mi car, but it don't have no brake
When a we a driving, say, di independent man a shake (For, mi say)
Take out a shout if you have a bellyache (Mi say)
Take out your teeth if you have a toothache
For, in a California there's a lot of earthquake
Love, I say, di horse when dem left of a di gate
Love, I say, di jockey when they ride around di street (Cah mi a)
Ride pon book, a mi no ride pon slate
[Verse 2]
Give mi little food, you want mi share it in a plate
Great is great, you could never underrate
Cah, di people dem line up fi take a slice of cake
Some on go sleep, next morning cyaan wait
[Chorus]
Every morning I get up through mi milk an' cornflakes
An' in my lunch pan, a rice an' peas with steak
I was going to my bus like it Spring Valley lake (Some a)
Drive with mi car, but it don't have no brake
When a we a driving, say, di independent man a shake (For, mi say)
Take out a shout if you have a bellyache (Mi say)
Take out your teeth if you have a toothache
For, in a California there's a lot of earthquake
Mi love fi see di horse when dem left of a di gate
Mi love fi see di jockey when they ride around di street (Jah, mi a)
Mi ride pon book, a mi no ride pon slate
Say, great is great, you could never underrate
For, some sound light, like a curry on plate
Let mi know, say, Stereo Mars, every dancehall a him get
Danny Dread, a hear Dancehall, put down di dumpling
Nicodemus-Super Cat, dem make dem shake off they head
[Verse 3]
Beca' mi nice, mi nice, mi know, say, mi nice
Man dem shown a crucify Jesus Christ
Cah, dem give we [?] with di chicken an' rice
Tell you, mister Demus, you fi issue your visa
Car you fi drive, lord-god, a Rolls Royce
Tell you, dis a one, it a di people's choice
[Outro]
Morning I get up through mi milk an' cornflakes
Every morning I get up through mi milk an' cornflakes
But, in my lunch pan, a rice an' peas with steak
I was going to di bus like it Spring Valley lake (Some a)
Drive with mi car, but it don't have no brake
When a mi a driving, say, independent woman check for me
(For, mi say)
Take out a shout if you have a bellyache (For, mi say)
Take out your teeth if you have a toothache
For, in a California there's a lot of earthquake
Mi love fi see dem horse when dem left of a di gate
