Junk Food

Rememba de cold suppa shop
Dat you use fi stop at
You coulda eat anythin'
It was like you granny cookin'
Corn dumplin' and ackee
From big fat matte
Stew peas and rice
Use fi really taste nice
Now a ice cream stand
Teckin' ova de lan

Junk food fullin' up de place
Dis is anada disgrace
Junk food fullin' up de place
And now good food a guh guh to waste

Strawberry ice cream
Raspberry ice cream
Dem a bury wi you nuh si
Ice cream, ice cream
Hot dog, ice cream
Liven' de American dream

Junk food fullin' up de place
Dis is anada disgrace
Junk food fullin' up de place
And now good food a guh guh to waste

You know that sweet will rot you teeth?
But is only ice cream you a guh get fi eat
Jucks pon de corna a teck in de scene
Puffing up you belly wid ice cream

De scene get mean, run you mus
But you belly might buss
Gunshot clap
One a you fren drop
Flex out time, flex out time
Leavin' you ice cream behin'

Junk food fullin' up de place
Dis is anada disgrace
Junk food fullin' up de place
And now good food a guh guh to waste

Folla fashion is de order of de day
Caan get nuh food dat is wa dem se
Miss mattie shop afi move
Granny cooking out a groove
De disc jockey say
Announcin' de openin' of a ice cream stan
In de parish of St. Ann
Nex' month is Westmoreland
An anadda one in Clarendon
Watch out Portland

Strawberry ice cream
Raspberry ice cream
Dem a bury wi you nuh si
Ice cream, ice cream
Hot dog, ice cream
Liven' de American dream

Junk food fullin' up de place
And now good food a guh guh to waste
