Not only here in the West Indies, but I find people is hard to please This is really true doh matter wey you do I ent talking nonsense, this is practical experience Don't mind how you try, they will criticise and I don't know why. If you changing steady and you looking fancy, They will say how you showing off And if you keeping yourself like a badjohn, They will watch and laugh But I following a plan, I ent watching no man I just doing to suit meself 'Cause if is not how you dress, is the way that you walk The people will talk. Take for instance when I was small, everyday is a bacchanal Well, I always misbehaving with expression and street fighting Well, they talk all over the place, how I so bad and I out of place Now I playing cool and easy, well, the same people say how I stupidee. How I can't even fight, ---------- stepping light With mih socks and shoe on mih feet And how I playing I dis and I playing I dat And like a girl, mih skin smelling sweet But I following a plan, I ent watching no man I just doing to suit meself 'Cause if is not how you dress, is the way that you walk The people will talk. If a man have an ugly head like Yul Brynner They will laugh 'til they nearly dead Anywey he turn, Ha! Look de clean head man! But if you head good looking like mine They will say that's a nice design Nothing in this world, like you can't please people with at all. If you changing steady and you looking fancy, They will say how you showing off And if you keeping yourself like a badjohn, They will watch and laugh But I following a plan, I ent watching no man I just doing to suit meself 'Cause if is not how you dress, is the way that you walk The people will talk. In 1961, I was living in Shanty Town Some people say how I going mad to choose the worst place in Trinidad I leave the place and I went up San Fernando I buy a big, fancy bungalow Friends, I wouldn't lie, the same people say how I flying high. If you changing steady and you looking fancy, They will say how you showing off And if you keeping yourself like a badjohn, They will watch and laugh But I following a plan, I ent watching no man I just doing to suit meself 'Cause you could black like tar or white like a chalk The people will talk.
