E              A
Sunday gone I jump on a mini bus
                       D
I really late but it's not my fault
                   E
And when we nearly reach by the terminus
          A
I feel di bus come to a halt

A
We lick a ram goat down a de round-about
                          D
But just as if that could not suffice
                         E
A bredda run through the bus and start to shout
                D                A
"You shoulda dead mek we buy a pound a rice"


[Chorus]

            D             A
Ram goat liver good fi mek mannish water
E                        A
Billy goat teeth mek the earring for you daughter
D                         A
Curried goat lunch put de bite in your bark
E                       Bm                  E        A
It mek you daughter ... It mek you daughter walk and talk


[Verse 2]

E                    A
Well the news spread fast like a telegram
                    D
Nobody know whey de goat come from
                     E
We raise a pot and a pan from an Iyah-man
             A
Who sit down deh, all along

A
Two twos and the pot a boil
                 D
A head a yam and banana tip
                    E
Meanwhile, quarters waters a gwan
         D                       A
Lick me goat and a *meeeh* tek me sip

E              A

But while I waitin down di road, fi bum a ride
               A
I feel a gripe and I start feel very weak

A
Before too long, you no haffi ask
                       D
A running belly like a judgement day
                   E
A everybody in the road a dead wid laugh
           D                         A
