Mighty Sparrow Robbery With V. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They want a new King
They would do anything
They want a new King
They will do anything
Well they don't like me way
How ah sticking out for money
If ah don't get pay
I ain't singing for nobody
They decide to clip me wing
And put ah obstacle there as King
[Chorus]
A man with no originality
No stage personality
They trying to make me look small
All he have is a deep croon
But he won't change the tune at all
This song, that song, same melody
No variety
If you don't believe me
You could ask anybody
If it ain't robbery with V

[Verse 2]
Hiding the judges name
Ah fus they feeling shame
They feel they spiting me
But they too blind to see
I am the only man
Does fight for Calypsonian
Right here in this island
Getting no appreciation
Instead of helping me up
They fighting for progress to stop

[Chorus]
They put up a man with no originality
No stage personality
They trying to make me look small
I know he have a deep croon
But when he go change that tune?
This song, that song, same melody
No variety
Well if you don't believe me
You could ask anybody
If it ain't robbery with V
[Verse 3] Now try and remember
I have nothing against Dougla
We all went up to sing
And all of we hope was to win
It is the committee
That making it they duty
Forgetting ability
Extending sympathy
But is the one thing they learn
They give him the crown
But I had the throne

[Chorus]
He ain't had no stage personality
No originality
They can't make me look small
All he have is a deep croon
But he won't change the tune at all
This song, that song, same melody
No variety
Well if you don't believe me
You could ask anybody
If it ain't robbery with V

[Verse 4]
They say I'm not a sport
Call me names of every sort
But I want them to know
My whole life is calypso
I take it seriously
I ain't care who say ah silly
It's a job to me
No one should disagree
All I am begging them to do
Is give credit where credit is due
[Chorus]
Don't put no man with no originality
No stage personality
Don't try to make me look small
Because all he have is a deep croon
Tell me when he go change the tune
This song, that song, same melody
No variety
Well if you don't believe me
You could ask anybody
If it ain't robbery with V
