Yes Yes Yes
Calypso Mama Lyrics

Oh! Me mummy bought a rooster. She took it for a hen.
My mother purchased a male chicken, mistaking it for a female.

Thought it would lay eggs, about nine or ten.
She believed that it would lay eggs in large quantities.

So she made up a nest of some straws and some grass.
She created a comfortable spot for the rooster to lay eggs.

But it didn't lay nothing but it's yes, yes, yes.
The rooster did not lay anything but continued to make noise.

She bought another rooster, she took it for a duck.
My mother bought another male chicken mistaking it for a duck.

Sat it on the table with it's two legs turned up.
She put the chicken on the table with its legs pointing upwards.

In came sis, with a spoon and a glass.
My sister came into the room with a spoon and a glass.

She started to stirring out the gravy from his yes, yes, yes.
She began stirring the liquid coming out of the chicken's beak, thinking it was gravy.

Papa Papa! Now you must be getting old.
Father, you must be aging as Mother is now selling your goods.

Mama's round the corner selling all your sweet jelly rolls.
Mother is selling all the delicious baked goods you have made.

Papa said, "Come here woman and come in here fast" .
Father asked Mother to come quickly.

And stop that shaking your yes, yes, yes!
He asked her to stop the constant yes-ing, or agreeing without thinking.

It was the night before Christmas and all through the house.
On Christmas Eve, the house was quiet.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a little mouse.
There was no movement or sound.

When down by the chimney I heard something pass.
I heard a noise below the chimney.

It was Santa Claus sliding on his yes, yes, yes.
It turns out the noise was Santa Claus sliding down the chimney, making a noise similar to the chicken's yes-ing.

The bullfrog sat on the mountbeak.
A bullfrog rested on a mountbeak.

He dipped his tail in a hot pan of grease.
He dipped his tail in a hot, greasy pan.

He said, "Eh. excuse me folks but i just got a pass".
He apologized for interrupting, but announced he had just had a bowel movement.

Because I'm slippin' slidin' scoopin' on my yes, yes, yes!
He explained that he was slipping and sliding in the grease, and making similar noises to the previously mentioned chicken.

Way down under in St. Augustine
In the southern location of St. Augustine.

The black cat sat on the sewing machine.
A black cat sat atop a sewing machine.

Ha! That sewing machine, she sowed so fast.
The sewing machine was stitching so fast.

She sowed ninety-nine stitches in his yes, yes, yes.
The stitching was so rapid that it stitched a total of 99 stitches in the same spot, much like how the chicken kept repeating the same sounds.

You must all know about Dellinger, as he rode up to a gas station.

And said to the attendant, "Well I think this look like a pretty good location".
He pointed out to the attendant that this looked like a good location.

So the attendant said, "Do you want my gas?"
The attendant asked him if he would like to purchase gas.

He replied, "Either your gas or your yes, yes, yes".
Dellinger responded that it didn't matter if he had gas or just kept making the sound of agreement without really knowing what he was agreeing to.
