Hey, hey

(Aye-yai-yai, ya-yai-ya-yai-yai)

[Verse 1]
Me live de life of leisure in me house here down de bay
Me wife cook anyting me want, me eat six time a day
Me woman she cook de chicken, yes, she cook de bean and rice
With rum banana pudding, me livin' de life of paradise
De only consequence is dat I weigh 300 pound
And now de clothes dat fit me, ha-ha! Nagwah can be found
Jah know me hear de riddems, jah know me want to dance around
But every time me take a step, me pants fall down

[Chorus]
Me gut so big and round, she make me pants fall down
Me trousers on de ground because me pants fall down
Me belt she loop around, and still me pants fall down
Yah hear da whooshing sound, jah know me pants fall down

"Don't come after me."
(Aye-yai-yai, aye-ya-yai-yai)

[Verse 2]
Me try de Atkins diet, cause me worry 'bout me size
Me lose de bufu inches from me bumbo and me thighs
Me wife she make de grapefruit an' de yogurt, oat and bran
She say dat though there less of me, me no de lesser man
Me like "before and after" picture since me shed me pound
Jah know me hear de riddems but Irie, she no be found
Before me clothes to little and me was too big around
And now me got no middle, so me pants fall down

[Chorus]
Me lose de hundred pound and still me pants fall down
Me face is going to frown because me pants fall down
Me walking like a clown because me pants fall down
Me naughty bits abound because me pants fall down
[Post-Chorus]
Shriekback, flashback, give de dog a bone
Jah crack way in back, John Brown on de phone
Shriekback, flashback, give de dog a bone
Jah crack, hacky sack, John Brown on de phone
