 (Who, ooh, ooh, ooh,  is Mr. Brown?)
 Mr Brown is a clown  who rides to town  in a coffin.
 (Where he  be found?) In the coffin,
 Where there is three  crows on top  and two is laughing.
 Oh, what  a con-fusion!  Ooh, yeah,  yeah!
 What a bother-ation,  ooh, now,  now!
 Who is Mr. Brown?  I wanna know  now!
 He is nowhere  to be found.
 From Mandeville  to Slide-a-ville, coffin  runnin' a-round,
 Up-setting,  upsetting, up-setting  the town, asking  for Mr. Brown.
 From Mandeville  to Slide-a-ville, coffin  runnin' a-round,
 Up-setting,  upsetting, up-setting  the town, asking  for Mr. Brown.
 I wanna know who...  (is Mr.  Brown)?
 Is Mr. Brown  controlled by  remote?
 Oh,  calling Duppy Conqueror,
 I'm the ghost-catcher;  this is your chance,
 Oh big, big Bill bull-bucka,
 Take your chance; prove yourself! Oh, yeah!
 Down in pa-rade,
 People runnin'  like a masquerade.
 The po-lice make  a raid,
 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,  yeah, they think  it fade.
 What a thing in town,
 Crows chauffeur-driven  a-round.
 Skankin' as if they had never known,
 The man  they call "Mr.  Brown".
 I can tell  you where he's from  now...
 From Mandeville  to Slide-a-ville, coffin  runnin' a-round,
 Up-setting,  upsetting, up-setting  the town, asking  for Mr. Brown.
