Bois Bande

Oy mama! Papa!

[Verse 1]
Fifty girls belong to me
I could handle fifty more
And if you had my recipe
You could do it too, I'm sure
So if you want to know my secret
Listen carefully
Soak the bark and drink the water
From a certain tree

[Chorus]
What's the name of that tree again, tell me
(Bois Bande!)
Ask any man in Port of Spain about
(Bois Bande!)
Don't care how the woman strong
Don't care how she fat and round
You goin' have she tumbling down with
(Bois Bande)

[Verse 2]
If the woman leave and go
She bound to come back I know
Don't care who the man may be
She bound to remember me
So if you want to keep the woman
Just follow my plan
Let me mix the brew for you
To join me bois bande gang

[Chorus]
And what's the name of that drink, ah want to hear you now
(Bois Bande!)
Sing the chorus! Ask the men in Port of Spain about
(Bois Bande!)
Oh Lord, don't care how the woman strong
I'll fight for a night 'fore long
You goin' have she tumbling down with
(Bois Bande)

Fire!

[Verse 3]
When a man pass 53
He start losing his vitality
So he runs for ovaltine
Guinness stout or phospherene
That's all well and good, I agree
But listen what I say
Nothing keeps a woman happy
Like a man charged with bois bande

[Chorus]
Tell me what's the name of the drink, ah want to know now
(Bois Bande!)
Ask any man in Port of Spain about
(Bois Bande!)
Oh Lord, don't care how the woman strong
Don't care how she jump around
You goin' have she tumbling down with
(Bois Bande)

Fire!

[Verse 4]
Once there was a policeman
He joined the bois bande gang
But he mix the brew too strong
For two weeks he can't lay down
Stand up like a Roman soldier
Like he want to fight
Is a block of ice they had to tie
On he head to cool him than night

[Chorus]
Tell me what's the name again, brother
(Bois Bande!)
Oh tell me, tell me I want to remember
(Bois Bande!)
Oh Lord, don't care how the woman strong
Don't care how she fat and round
You goin' have she tumbling down with
(Bois Bande)

[Outro]
Oh every morning I drink a glass of
(Bois Bande!)
Oh and attacking anything that pass with
(Bois Bande!)
They go making plenty, plenty, plenty, plenty
(Bois Bande!)
Oh, I'll go treat meh yard in
(Bois Bande!)
Come down, buy me ah selling anybody
(Bois Bande!)
Oy woman, woman, woman, woman
(Bois Bande!)
Come on, come on, everybody
(Bois Bande!)
Come on, come on, come on, come on
(Bois Bande!)
