Leggo Meh Stick

J’ouvert morning I was beating pan
When I bounced up a chick that I knew before
Why, meh pan sound so sweet, she want to learn to beat
So she scrambled meh stick with a
flick she so quick and bold, oh gorm!
Rosita, leggo meh stick
Girl ah have to beat pan, leggo quick
On Carnival Day dis is not de way
If you really want to play come Ash Wednesday!
Listen Rosie, girl in any case
This is not de right time or de proper place
So go an' jump up, and please don’t interrupt
Everybody looking it is embarrassing, leggo, oh gosh
Rosita, leggo meh stick
J’y en a hard to beat pan, leggo quick
On Carnival Day dis is not de way
If you really want to play come Ash Wednesday!
Now de steelband goin' be moving soon
Going down Charlotte Street with a lovely tune
But ah just cyah function with meh two stick in your hand
At de end of de day you will get it when I done play, oh gosh
Rosita, leggo meh stick
Girl ah have to beat pan, leggo quick
On Carnival Day dis is not de way
If you really want to play come Ash Wednesday!
Look meh trouble on this J’ouvert morn'
Though I beg and beseech, she still holding on
Squeezing tighter, like of long time pan beater
Though she did make no row she insist she must get it now, somehow
Rosita, leggo meh stick
Girl ah have to beat pan, leggo quick
On Carnival Day dis is not de way
If you really want to play come Ash Wednesday!
