Melody Lie

Melody too smart and conniving
You must never, never believe him
Melody too smart and conniving
You must never, never believe him
Look, he borrowed some money from me
To send for his girl in
She buy clothes to fill a basket
Now to pay me back he say they pick he pocket
But he lie!
I want me money by tomorrow
Don’t think you have, Sparrow
Melo, no pickpocket would ever try to pick
An ex-pickpocket pocket
You mustn’t lie!
No pickpocket would ever try to pick
An ex-pickpocket pocket
Walk about the city and find out
Melo name in people mouth
Borrow money from everybody
And that is including me
To pay back Melo wouldn’t pay
Find him
Meet him somewhere down the street
Just to hear how broke so long he ain’t eat
But that’s a lie!
I want me money by tomorrow
Don’t think you have, Sparrow
Melo, no pickpocket would ever try to pick
An ex-pickpocket pocket
You mustn’t lie!
No pickpocket would ever try to pick
An ex-pickpocket pocket
When we come back here from Curaçao
I said, «Pay me! Pay me, Melo!
I don’t like to let people owe me»
He say, «I have cash.»
I say, «Well, show me.»
He pulled out one big fat wallet
So much hundred dollar bill
No wonder the man in Curaçao got killed
I want me money by tomorrow
Don’t think you have, Sparrow
Melo, no pickpocket would ever try to pick
An ex-pickpocket pocket
You mustn’t lie!
No pickpocket would ever try to pick
An ex-pickpocket pocket
Seven-hundred bucks he say lose
I was so confused
Melody, I make
In Aruba, on Curaçao
And although it is my belief
I can’t call the a thief
So the sergeant just put in his stuff
And thief from thief make God laugh
That I know, no lie
I want me money by tomorrow
Don’t think you have, Sparrow
Melo, no pickpocket would ever try to pick
An ex-pickpocket pocket
You mustn’t lie!
No pickpocket would ever try to pick
An ex-pickpocket pocket
