Years 1 and 2Mek me tell you wha me mudder do
wha me mudder do
wha me mudder do
Me muder pound plaintain mek fufu
Me mudder catch crab mek calaloo stew
Mek me tell you wha me mudder do
wha me mudder do
wha me mudder do
Me mudder beat hammer
Me mudder turn screw
she paint red chair
then she paint it blue
Mek me tell you wha me mudder do
wha me mudder do
wha me mudder do
Me mudder chase bad-cow
with one “Shoo”
she paddle down river
in she own canoe
Ain't have nothing
dat me mudder can't do
Ain't have nothing
dat me mudder can't do
From Come into my Tropical Garden.
