Why, why, People Funny Bwoy?

Now that you reach the top; and you turn Big Shot.

All I have done for you; you not re-member that.

When you were down an' out; I used to help you out.

But now that you win jack-pot; you don't re-member that.

Now that you turn Big Shot; bwoy, you 'ave big chat.

You're lucky, you're lucky, you're lucky, to have rice, and peas a-yard.

But me, poor me, don't have none at all.

I want-a, I want-a, I want-a, I want-a, I want-a uh iya yard tonight.

Why, why, People Funny Bwoy?

Now that you reach the top; and you turn Big Shot.

All I have done for you; you not re-member that.

When you were down an' out; I used to help you out.

But now that you win jack-pot; you don't re-member that.

Now that you turn Big Shot; bwoy, you 'ave big chat.

You're lucky, you're lucky, you're lucky, to have rice, and peas a-yard.

But me, poor me, don't have none at all.

I want-a, I want-a, I want-a, I want-a, I want-a uh iya yard tonight.
