You know the niece and the aunt

The mother and the daughter

Sparrow is the man they want

Being a big supporter of PNM

The father try to convince them

Say what you want he was solid as a rock

Pointing out the greatness of the Doc

He preach and he preach but all the while

The women watching my picture with a big big smile

Even the old grandmother, she ain’t care about he

She only singing «Robbery with V»

Well the husband take off like a jet plane through the door

To meet the Doctor at Piarco

In no time at all he was out of Port of Spain

Passing through the crowd he get a big shock

People cheering, I shaking hands with the Doc

A fellow say «Meh ain’t know, but he been talking to Sparrow»
