No Doctor No! (The Situation in Trinidad) - Mighty Sparrow

Listen, listen carefully

I am a man does never be sorry

I say, Listen, listen carefully

Sparrow is 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.

Because they raise up on the taxi fare

(No, Doctor, no!)

Ey!

And they have the blasted milk so dear

(No, Doctor, no!)

I want them to remember

We support them in September

They better come good

(Good, good)

Because I have a big piece of mango wood.

Well people, plenty people sorry

Sorry 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.

Oh Lord!

They raise up on the taxi fare

(No, Doctor, no!)

And 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 the big piece of mango wood.

Ey!

I only hope they understand

I am only a calypsonian

What I say may be very small

But I know that poor people ent 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.

But still I don’t want them to catch cold sweat

(No, Doctor, no!)

Because this mango wood talk is not a threat

(No, Doctor, no!)

But still they must remember

We support them in September

They better come good

(Good, good)

I have no intention of throwing down my mango wood!
