A-side a vocal,
B-side a version.
Hear the
boof through the
bass, hear the ssss
through the horn.
A sound is not a sound
without a mid section.
Like a house is not a home
without a television.
If you don't believe me
ask my woman.
She will tell you when me
mash up the tele, when me
mash up the tele, when me
mash up the television.
Is like the whole house
was in contention.
The kids were giving me
a lot of botheration.
Barling waah! waah! waah!
I wanna see Batman
A-Team, Danger Mouse
and He-Man.
There was only one way
I could solve the problem.
Which was to catch a taxi
down to redifusion.
Rent a tele take it home
and plug it in and turn it on.

An M. C. is not a Banton
without style and pattern.
To get an answer
you have to ask a question.
What is Pato middle name?
Origination.
Around the microphone

Me have more lyrics
than desert have sand.
More lyrics than water
in the Mediterranean.
More lyrics than fish
inna de wide ocean.
Pato lyrics pon a scale
must weight a ton.
This is a fact
and not fiction.
With maybe a little
exaggeration.
Every mickle mek a muckle
every muckle mek a mickle.
Pupa pato have principle

Ugly woman you fe settle
me no want no gyal with freckle.
Or a gyal that miserable
for that would be so terrible.
Unto Jah Jah I am thankful
thanks and praise they are essential.
Of the devil I am careful
cause I know he is so evil.
Well a lot of racial people
they give praises to the devil.
And even have a ritual
unto Jah that is abominable.
Before me come a dancehall
man a strictly radox herbal.
Well up and down me brush me teeth
to make them look beautiful.
A little bit of honey
to fix up Pato's vocals.
Then it's off to the dance
to jump and prance and
wiggle and jiggle,
wiggle and jiggle,
wiggle and jiggle,
wiggle and jiggle,
wiggle and jiggle and dance.
When the people see me dance
them a tell me fe

just, just, just gwarn!
