Etty in the room a cry 
Mama say she must wipe her eye 
Papa say she no fi foolish 
Like she never been to school at all 
It is no wonder 
It's a perfect pander 
While they were dancing in that bar room last night. 

Johnson in the room afret 
Uncle say he must hold up him head 
Aunty say she no fi foolish 
Like a no time fi him wedding day 
It is no wonder 
It's a perfect pander 
While they were dancing in that bar room last night. 
One pound ten for the wedding cake 
Plenty bottle of cola wine 
All the people them dress up in a white 
Fi go eat out Johnson wedding cake 
It is no wonder 
It's a perfect pander 
While they were dancing in that bar room last night.
