Tonto Irie Lyrics

Joel Allen

on Every Posse Get Ready

One Penny Posse yu fi right inna dis
Jumpin's Posse yu fi jump inna dis
Famous Posse yu fi come up inna dis
Jammy's Posse ah yu fi run come quick
Now mi have a new style an man mi out fi flash it
Open fi yu ears an listen to it
Yesterday evenin mi did feel sick
Madda neva like fi see yo mi ah vomit
So she gimmi medicine out of di medicine chest
Rub down mi body wid di ol time physic
From fi mi head ah to mi shoulder an mi hip
Put mi to bed mi drop asleep real quick
Now mi wake up next morning feel energetic
Tek mi skippin rope an den mi started to skip
Go around di corna an mi tek me tonic
Mi an Screechy Nice ah wi go bun ah ganja spliff
Now mi go a seaside an man mi catch four fish
Two ah dem ah Jack an two ah dem a Turbit
Carry dem on mi yard an man mi put dem inna dish
Mommy seh "Sonny boy yu fantastic!"
Shoulda have ah fishing boat big like titanic
An so she give mi twenty dolla fi go ah market
Mi buy scallion, tomato, an garlic
Mi buy pumpkin, ochro, mi seh an turnip
Mi buy a pound a yam and a pound of irish
Carry dem on mi yard an Madda look after it
Then she serve fi mi fish inna mi pyrex dish
Taste a piece a fish di bone jook mi pon me lip
When time mi memba dat ah mi catch di fish
Mi just, chew up di bone down could no taste it
That's why mi ribbit, mi ribbit, ah go ribbit did hit
Jammy's Posse an dem ah ribbit to it
One Penny Posse dem ah ribbit inna dis
Classy Possy an dem ribbit to it
Famous Posse den dem ah ribbit to it
One Penny man dem beat ah man dem right like magic
Jammy's Posse man dem beat ah man dem romantic
Now ah eighty-five an ah soon eighty-six
Down now wid di slackness ah culture lyrics
Lawd Tonto Irie man yu physical fit
So One Penny Posse yu fi run come quick
Jammy's Posse ah yu fi run come quick
Famous Posse ah yu fi run come quick
Have a new style an man mi out fi flash it
Open fi yu ears an listen to it
Yesterday evenin mi did feel sick
Madda neva like fi see yo mi ah vomit
Gimmi medicine out of di medicine chest
Rub down mi body wid di ol time physic
Put mi to bed mi drop asleep real quick
Wake up next morning feel energetic
Tek mi skippin rope an den mi started to skip
Go around di corna an mi tek me tonic
Mi an Screechy Nice ah wi go bun di chalice
Den mi go ah seaside an man mi catch four fish
Two ah dem ah Jack an two ah dem a Turbit
Carry dem on mi yard an man mi put dem inna dish

Shoulda have a fishing boat big like titanic
An so she give mi twenty dolla fi go a market
Mi buy scallion, tomato, an garlic
Mi buy pumpkin, ochro, mi seh an turnip
Mi buy a pound a yam and a pound of irish
Carry dem on mi yard an Madda look after it
Serve fi mi fish inna mi pyrex dish
Taste a piece a fish di bone...
