[Verse 1]
Now mi say, last week Saturday mi buck up pon a girl
Mi tell her me a go take her round di world
Now, kiss mi neck! It fly up inna head back
She waan new shoes and she waan new frock
She waan new stocking and she waan new strap
She waan new watch and bangle and hat
Kiss mi gutside! She waan new handbag
Mi say, "Gyal, wha' make you waan everything that is new?"
"Only thing I can afford is a pair of shoes"
Mi give her money, but the gyal still a screw
Wide out her eye just like a patoo
And a screw up her face like a crush callaloo
Mi say, "Dry dada sah! A wha' you a try fi do?!"
"You waan mi thump you inna you two eyes make it black and blue?!"
She say, "No, no, Stitchie! Nuh bother me at all!"
"You just meet me and you waan fi make me bawl?"
Di gyal foot big and di gyal foot tall
She wear size 10 and she want it look small
Go buy size 8, and when it squeeze her, she a bawl
[Chorus]
But, girl wear yuh size
Young girls wear yuh size
'Cause if you don't take Stitchie's advice
Girls unuh woulda get blind
Hey, hey

Young girls wear yuh size
'Cause if you don't take Stitchie's advice
Girls unuh woulda get blind
[Verse 2]
And so she put on her clothes and say, "Stitchie weh we a go?"
Mi say, "We a go a Carib go sidung and watch a show"
Mi step off of the bus, di gyal start walk slow
Mi say, "Darling, it seems like you walking in snow"
Hear her, "No, no, Stitchie! That's the way I love to go"
Da time pain a lick her all over her toe
She squinch in her eye and start to tip toe
Hold mi finger tight like she nuh waan let go
A walk and a whine like we a dance go-go
She say, "Stitchie mi tired, make we rest right yaso"
Mi say, "No, no, darling, we a go over deh so!"
She stand up still like she never waan go
And put her two hand dem pon her kimbo
Di shoes a squeeze her from yaso to yaso
She start skin her teeth like kidney furrow
Mi see yam, dumplin, banana, and cocoa
Dasheen and breadfruit, plantain and chocho
[Chorus]
Young girls wear yuh size
Young girls wear yuh size
'Cause if you don't take mi advice
Girls unuh woulda get blind
[Verse 3]
Hear me now, "Darling, what's the matter with you?!"
Hear her, "Stitchie...you know me shame fi tell you"
Mi say, "You nuh waan mi run come to your rescue?"
She say, "Mi wear size 10 and buy a size 8 shoes"
Mi laugh and say, "Gyal, you nuh easy at all"
"Born with your foot big and you want it look small?"
In the middle of crossroads mi buss out a laugh
People gather 'round and everybody start laugh
She kick off the shoes, everybody start laugh
And everybody laugh 'til dem belly bottom cramp
Gyal born with the foot size of a giant
And want her foot look small just like an ant
[Outro]
But gyal, wear yuh size
Young girls wear yuh size
'Cause if you don't take Stitchie's advice
Girls unuh woulda get blind
Phenomenal one, phenomenal two...
