Sparrow Dead - Mighty Sparrow

«Something in he bladder…»

«And a double dose of leukemia…»

Two gossip mongers gossipin'

I stand up in a corner listenin'

Before I could ask who dey talking 'bout,

A newspaper boy start to shout, hey!

Extra!

Read all about it!

Who kill de Sparrow?

Nobody know…

(«Sparrow dead!»)

If you see dis woman

(«Sparrow dead!»)

Wid a flag in she hand

(«Sparrow dead!»)

She bang on she belly

(«Sparrow dead!»)

Tellin' everybody

(«Sparrow dead!»)

Who kill de Sparrow?

Nobody know…

Well big mouth Lillian

Say the funeral was on television

She picky head cousin say

«Mmmhumm, de coffin cost twenty thousand

That is why he sell de company

To pay de doctor and de burial fee»

While she talking up come big Belly Angie

With a paper bawlin' «Girl, all you ain’t see?»

Oh, you read it?

I’m gon' tell you:

Who kill de Sparrow?

Nobody know…

(«Sparrow dead!»)

Well dat was excitement

Traffic jam, people block de pavement

Mama look at commerce

Everybody done ride de express

If people want to kill, choke or leggo

Sparrow just land in

This time the evening news led de throng

That another had lain by Chester Marong, hey!

Read all about it!
