Mighty Sparrow Calypso Lyrics

1st Verse
I've discovered a new philosophy,
How to live with women happily.
Oh,I have got a new philosophy,
How to live with women happily

What, Socrates and Plato didn't know,
I'm gonna sock it to you in calypso.
Every now and then, cuff dem down,
They love you long and they love you strong.

CHORUS
Black up their eyes, bruise up their knee,
And then dey love you eternally.
Improv

2nd Verse
Even in de bridal chamber, teach dem dat you are de Master
Don't be fooled wid sentimentality,
or dey tell their friends you're a sissy!
But this is one ting yuh must not forget,
I mean the ethic of your bedroom etiquette. Every now and then, sock it to dem baby,
They love yuh long an' dey love you strong.

I say to black up their eyes, bruise up their knee
And then dey love you eternally.
Improv

3rd Verse
I said a woman, is so devilishly cunning,
She could trap any man, any time, dat she wanted.
Hey boy! Listen carefully, take my advice and you'll be happy like me.
Don't, ever let their sweet docility,
Paralyse your judgement and revoke your sympathy.
Every now and then, you've to sock it to dem mama.
They love you long and they love you strong.

Chorus
Ad lib to end
