Cocoa Tea Evening Time Lyrics

[Intro]
*Scatting*

[Chorus]
Sweet Louise, work is over, now is dance hall time
Tell you again, Sweet Louise
My work is over, now is dance hall time
Come, we go into the dance
Go do some Rub-a-Dub, little girl
Don't stay behind
Come Louise, catch up di fire, boil di gungo peas
We are go sit down pon mountain side
Go take in a little of di evening breeze
[Bridge]
Uh-wee, *Scatting*

[Verse 1]
One time gone
We couldn't even get a rest at all (Alright)
Because of girl
The overtime, we have fi work at night
But now we are go enjoy we-self
Every night we are go feel alright
Evening time, my work is over, now is evening (Oh yeah)
Say, evening time, an'
My work is over, now is dance hall time
Come, we go into the dance
Go do di Rub-a-Dub, little girl
We nah go stay behind

[Chorus]
Louise, catch up di fire, boil di gungo peas We are go sit down pon mountain side
Go take in a little of di evening breeze
In the fields plant banana or a sole red peas
Not to mention di gungo peas, di black-eyed peas
An' di one cowpeas
But tonight in the dance, in a we dancin' shoe
We are go rock all the night
Rock all the night, little girl, 'til-a broad daylight
[Bridge]
