Mighty Sparrow Papa Jack Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Aye Jack, the women quarrelling
Papa Jack, you ain't hear she grumbling?
Me ain't know what you didn't do
But the women is annoyed with you
Since ah know she, I never see she so blue
She say you're a sleepy-head
You're only working but you're really dead
Ah shame to tell you how much gossip the women spread

[Chorus]
She say you're getting old and you're getting cold and boring
Any time she call on you you're snoring
Time to shake a leg meh lad, do your duty even though it hard
It is man like you does make good women turn bad

Jacky!

[Verse 2]
Papa Jack, way you wake up this jezebel?
Aye Jack, she ponging you like hell
Meh ain't tell you to knock she down
But your name dragging on the ground
Every minute of the day she wagging she tongue
Telling people how you're underfed
And how your pencil ain't got no lead
And when she married to you she was out she head
[Chorus]
She say you're getting old and you're getting cold and boring
Any time she call on you you're snoring
Time to shake a leg meh lad, do your duty even though it hard
It is man like you does drive this poor women mad

[Verse 3] Aye Jack, you gotta find a solution
Papa Jack, your name in too much confusion
Cut out all your rum drinking
Start taking some vitamin
I think phosphorine will be just the thing
Be a man and not a mouse
Put some pepper in she souse
You want to show this louse who's boss in the house
And how the hell she mean...

[Chorus]
You're getting old and you're getting cold and boring
Any time she call on you you're snoring
Time to shake a leg meh lad, do your duty even though it hard
It is man like you does make good women turn bad

[Verse 4]
Aye Jack, the gossip gone too far
Papa Jack, she want to spoil your character
Every morning she in floods of tears
Telling the neighbours 'bout your home affairs
How the Devil you could stand that for so much years?
If she keep carrying on this way
Making your romance look like child play
Ah tell you Jack, ah see she bedroom on she birthday
[Chorus]
She say you're getting old and you're getting cold and boring
Any time she call on you - she hearing
Time to shake a leg meh lad, do your duty even though it hard
It is man like you does make good women turn bad
