They Washing They Mouth On Me

Anywhere you go is the same talk
From the West Indies up to New York
Anywhere you go is the same talk
From the West Indies up to New York
Sparrow do this and Sparrow do that
Sparrow never hit they dog or they cat
Still for all they would not give me a chance
They interfering in my private romance

Everybody washing they mouth on me
I eh do them nothing but they giving they tongue liberty
Well they start to say how ah stupid
Because ah wеnt and married to Emily
But ah love me wifе and to hell with everybody

Even some ah dem calypsonian
They must know I'm me own man
They got to stop this stupidness
And what I do is me own business
From corner to corner, post to post
They only walking 'bout and boast
Instead of improving they calypso
They wasting dey time bad talking Sparrow

Dem calypsonians washing they mouth on me
I eh do them nothing but they giving they tongue liberty
Well, while they arguing in the gutter
Sparrow bread well butter, but they can't see
Is twenty as before they catch up with me

I think it's so ridiculous
Wey dey making so much a big fuss
Some of my friends and family
They seem to be annoyed with me
But I don't care what they say
Ah go do my business my way
I don't see why they getting mad
I eh take way day women from Trinidad

Still everybody washing they mouth on me
I eh do them nothing but they giving they tongue liberty
They'll start to say ah stupid
Because ah went and married to Emily
But she nice like hell, so to hell with everybody

They have me in a big big confusion
They treating me worse than a Russian
What have I done to these people
They got me so miserable
My poor wife never trouble them
But they hate me more than the PNM
So right now ah forming a plan
Ah might as well change me name to Dr. William

Because everybody washing they mouth on me, poor me
I eh do them nothing but they giving they tongue liberty
Well, they start to say how ah stupid
Because ah went and married to Emily
But ah love me wife and to hell with everybody
