Bassman

Lyrics

I was planning to forget Calypso
To go and plant peas in Tobago
But I am afraid
I can't make the grade

Every night I lie down in meh bed
I hearing a bass man in meh head

Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

I don't know how this thing get inside me
Mama every morning, he driving me crazy
Like he taking me head for a panyard
Morning and evening, Uncle Farell gone mad

If I don't want to sing
When he start to do his thing
I don't want to, but I got to sing

And if I don't want to dance
He does have me in a trance
I don't want to, but I got to prance

Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

One night I said to the bassman
Give me your identification
He said, "It's me Farell
Your bassman from hell

Well they tell me you singing Calypso
I come up to pull some notes for you"

Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

I don't know how this thing get inside me
Mama every morning, he driving me crazy
Like he taking me head for a panyard
Morning and evening, Uncle Farell gone mad

If I don't want to sing
When he start to do his thing
I don't want to, but I got to sing

And if I don't want to dance
He does have me in a trance
I don't want to, but I got to prance

Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

I went and I tell Dr. Lee Young
I want a brain operation
A man in me head
I want him to dead

He said it's my imagination
But I know I hearing a bassman

Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

I don't know how this thing get inside me
Mama every morning, he driving me crazy
Like he taking me head for a panyard
Morning and evening, Uncle Farell gone mad

If I don't want to sing
When he start to do his thing
I don't want to, but I got to sing

And if I don't want to dance
He does have me in a trance
I don't want to, but I got to prance

Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum be-te bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
