Mighty Panther - Mama Hold De Light

From the CD "Legends of Calypso" by ARC music.

Oh mama hold de light let me see
Something biting me on my knee
Oh mama hold de light let me see
Something biting me on my knee

Dis house is a-filled wit rats
We need more dan one pussycat
An'dese rats are so filled with greed
Even on fresh milk I know dey will feed

Oh mama hold de light let me see...

Oh mama hold de light let me see...

When you go to sleep in de night
You better pull the covers up tight
Oh I know de rats dey don't care
Dey'll jump up and bite you from here to there

Oh mama hold de light let me see...

Oh mama hold de light let me see...

When we get in bed and turn on de light
I hope dat none of us get rat bite
But if de rats decide to choose
I hope dey can see I got more to lose

Oh mama hold de light let me see...

Oh mama hold de light let me see...

Dis one good, mon. Better get a cat to chase da rat. We have an owl bird in our yard to eat da rats. Cats are inside to eat da rat, too, if they brave or crazy enuf to try.

Hey mon, I don't fear rat bite! To many stairs for the rats to climb and I sleep with a cat in my bed!!!

Love the old-school music, and you're givin' those bongos the right feel to match...very cool sound!

Thanks man! I have been busy this weekend. did you see my other two new videos? (More old-school music!) Btw... these are my new Sheila E bongos. It's a totally different feeling!!! Love, Cobi

This tune has fond memories for as Kids we used to sing " Mammy put on de light leh meh see, something bite meh on meh bumbee, and if yer tink is ah lie dat ah tell, Mammy look how meh bumbee swell". Just before the end you would pull your Brother or Sister's cheeks to imitate a swollen Bum. To quote Dr. Sparrow ," School days were Happy, Happy days". How True. Thanks.

Wow this song take me way back when I was a little girl. My dad would play this song for us and we would sit and listen to it.  Big up a creole broke-down music. :-) MInnie

How appropriate that you're playin' bongos from the best female hand drummer around...I thought they looked different, but I usually watch your hand, not the bongos! (LOL) Keep the beat goin'!

Love, Charlie
