Drunk and Disorderly: Mighty Sparrow

Drink and drunk yes that's me name,
Always make me family shame
Like Mary-Anne all day all night,
I start whoring high like a Kite
It's Christmas everyday is Christmas,
I could drink me rum trust,
Even in the Mass, I Love to be

Drunk and disorderly
Always in custody
Me friends and me family
All man fed up with me, cause I
Drunk and disorderly
Every weedend I in the jail
Drunk and disorderly, nobody to stand me bail

I can't stop Lord and I won't try,
I feel so good when I high
So bring wine, bring beer, bring gin,
Bring champagne, ink anyting
Night time, better in the sunshine,
Anytime is right time,
To drink me high wine, until I get

Drunk and disorderly
Always in custody
Me friends and me family
All man fed up with me, cause I
Drunk and disorderly
Every weedend I in the jail
Drunk and disorderly, nobody to stand me bail




They never teach me rum control,
So put as long me glass could whole
They say a hungry man's a angry man,
Well a drunkin' man's a happy man
Good Friday, could fall on Ash Wednesday,
As long as it's rum-day, I ain't goin nowhere, until I get

Drunk and disorderly
Always in custody
Me friends and me family
All man fed up with me, cause I
Drunk and disorderly
Every weedend I in the jail
Drunk and disorderly, nobody to stand me bail

If it's good rum for Christmas it's waste,
let's to open it now, and take a taste
I say break the seal don't waste me time,
And bring it with a willing mind
You feel good, you stay in a happy mood,
Rum give you your vitamin and nourishment and food, it's nice to be

Drunk and disorderly
Always in custody
Me friends and me family
All man fed up with me, cause I
Drunk and disorderly
Every weedend I in the jail
Drunk and disorderly, nobody to stand bail

END.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Drunk and Disorderly" by Mighty Sparrow tells the story of an unapologetic drunkard who can't and won't try to control his drinking habit. He defines himself as "Drink and drunk" which is constantly bringing shame to his family and friends causing them to be fed up with him. He describes how he starts drinking early in the day and continues to drink until he is "whoring high like a kite" and ends up in custody every weekend. The singer shows how he finds joy in drinking and how it makes him happy, and he encourages others to join him in drinking, stating that rum is nourishing and a form of food.


Through his lyrics, Mighty Sparrow highlights the social issue of alcoholism and its detrimental effects on individuals, families and the society, specifically in the Caribbean where rum is a widely consumed alcoholic beverage. He talks about how drinking is taking over his life, affecting his relationships and leading him to prison, yet he feels it's a necessary part of his life. The song reflects the singer's own experiences and observations of alcoholism.
