Tonton Macoute - Al Stewart

Come on to Haiti, you don’t need a treaty

Papa Doc will do you OK

Tonton in the sun, he’s polishing his gun

You’d better just stay out of his way.

If you turn a critical eye

He’ll drill you through the middle and cry

It’s just Tonton

It’s just Tonton

It’s just Tonton Macoute

Just Tonton Macoute.

Idi Amin Dada slowly going gaga

Some say it’s the yaya decay

Country’s going broker but Idi he’s a joker

You’d better just stay out of his way.

Anything you say that’s not right

You’re floating in the river at night

It’s just Tonton

It’s just Tonton

It’s just Tonton Macoute

Just Tonton Macoute.

Papa had the voodoo to bring you down and cool you

Idi learned the lesson OK

From Nero to Stalin, Froward to Mussolini

They’ve always had to have it their way.

But you can’t make political pie

With such an hypocritical lie

It’s just Tonton

It’s just Tonton

It’s just Tonton

Just Tonton Macoute.

It’s just Tonton Macoute.
