Toots and The Maytals - Water Melon

Look out mister man.
This can be a fight.
Each and every man,
Want a 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 is really, a lovely melon.
It really entice.
Each and every man,
Want one bite.

(..)

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 is really, a lovely melon.
It really entice..

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!
