lyrics
The Cat and the Rooster
What a contention, lord
Down there at the farmyard
What a contention, lord
Right down there at the farmyard
It's been the same since beginning of history
Two animal a fight over stupidity
But never do so outta true animosity
It's a struggle for power, you see
The cat and the rooster, dem constantly fight one another
The cat and the rooster just can't live like sister and brother
The rooster him stand deh, do nothing but blow him bubble away
His head getting bigger each and every day
The cat gwarn so greedy, give her one, she want two
One never like what the other one do
You can hear dem shout
Seh di rooster won't shut up him mouth
You can see dem fight
You never see di cat hug him tight
Dem quarrel bout dis
Dem quarrel bout dat
Di cat never like how di rooster get fat
And di rooster seh him can't stand di smell of di cat
Dem just can't live in sweet harmony
The cat and the rooster, dem constantly fight one another
The cat and the rooster just can't live like sister and brother
The rooster him stand deh, do nothing but blow him bubble away
His head getting bigger each and every day
The cat gwarn so greedy, give her one, she want two
One never like what the other one do
The cock and the pussy, dem always gwarn fighty fighty
The cock and the pussy, it's always the same old story
So remember, my children, come and take it from me
Disya struggle gwain suck out your life energy
Let it loose, let it flow, and don't you ever get stuck
And save some stamina fi di wuck
