lirik lagu mighty sparrow - jerk
[verse 1]
this yankee man like to bet
and he like to fight when he lose
in the club he comes every night for bet
especially when he boozed
the other night he telling me
that is up in new york city
they invented the jerk and he willing to bet
it ain’t reached trinidad as yet
[chorus]
so i take him ten dollars to two
i could jerk more than you
twenty dollars to three
you can’t jerk more than me
ah can’t do the twist
not the mashed potato at all
but when it comes to jerk
i’ve been jerking from since ah small
hey mama!
[verse 2]
this jerk that he talking ’bout
is a dance that will drive you wild
them yankees just find it out
so they jerking and making style
wouldn’t they be surprised to know
i learned the jerk before calypso
right now i could give you a demonstration
ah got the jerk in the palm of meh hand
[chorus]
mama, ten dollars to two
i could jerk more than you
twenty dollars to three… fifty
you can’t jerk more than me
ah can’t do the twist
not the mashed potato at all
but when it comes to jerk
i say i’ve been jerking from since ah small
[verse 3]
ah say, “i know the boogaloo
the mashed potato and camel walk
the twist and the monkey too
are a few dances out of new york
but not the jerk, my yankee pal
you can’t get ‘way with that at all
christopher columbus met the natives of this land
in a jerking competition”
ah tell him…
[chorus]
ten dollars to two
i could jerk more than you
twenty dollars to three
you can’t jerk more than me
ah can’t do the twist
mashed potato does give me corn
but when it comes to jerk
i started to jerk from the day ah born
[verse 4]
this yankee man start to buse
he say he hate every west indian
all we could do is carry news
play cricket, sing calypso and beat steel band
finally he stake up the bet
i never laughed so much yet
you know ah couldn’t take he money, it was too unfair
he jerking with he two long arms in the air
singing…
[chorus]
ten dollars to two
i could jerk more than you
twenty dollars to three
you can’t jerk more than me
ah can’t do the twist
not the mashed potato at all
but when it comes to jerk
he say, “i’ve been jerking from since ah small”
