Lee Scratch Perry

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-memeber 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.
Bridge 1:
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.
I want-a, I want-a, I want-a, I want-a, I want-a uh iya yard tonight.
