Look out mister man This can be a fight Each and every man want one bite Look out water melon This can be a bite Take my advice Don't you swell like rice And if you don't want to hear just what I'm saying I know what I'm saying to you is true Mister, mister, mister, mister rest a while And I will show you how This pretty, lovely melon It really entice Each and every man want one bite
This is my favourite Reggae song ever - bought my old 7" vinyl from Reggae shop next to Croydon station it in sixty nine i think and played it on my old portable slot record player till it had holes in. Epitomises for me great dayze in South London as a ska boy and Croydon at the old Croydon Suite. Who remembers Friday nights at CrystalPalace Hotel or Tuesdays at the Bull in Esher? - joy! - Lovely melon AAAAH!
I love this song..I heard it on one of my old vinyl ska records I have in the loft somewhere in the late 80s....Brings so much back hearing it again now.....Brilliant Toots at his best and understated...Thanks for uploading....You have made my day!
Love this song. Always sets me up for a 'better' day. :O)
