Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Patsy, you look so lovely
But girl, it is getting late
Patsy, don't try to tempt me
You ain't know, you ain't know
But you testing me faith"

"Oh yo yo, get away from me, you see
You too small, you too small dou-dou"
She say "Who you talking to, dou-dou?"
She say "If anybody too small is you!"

"Patsy, you must be crazy
How you goin' make, I mean an open statement like that?
Maybe you would like to have me
Locho making time
Like man noh with the blasting cap"

"Aye aye aye, get away from me, you see
You too small, you too small dou-dou"
She say "Who you talking to, boo-boo?
Sparrow if anybody too small is you!"

"Darling look how I trembling
Please don't make me lose control
It is evening but you should be leaving
Don't let me have the cause
To sing me soul"

"Oh yo yo, get away from me, you see
You too small, you too small dou-dou"
She say "Who you talking to, dou-dou?
Sparrow if anybody too small is old you!"

"Patsy look you look so dainty
And I'm so big and strong"
She said "I am not!
Sparrow me ain't frightened
Come on, come on, come on!"

"Aye aye aye, get away from me, you see
You too small, you going make me feel like a brute"
To my surprise she wasn't telling lies
"You're no little Patsy, that's talking the truth!"

Overall Meaning

The Mighty Sparrow's song "Patsy" is a flirtation song between two individuals named Sparrow and Patsy. Sparrow compliments Patsy, who looks lovely, but reminds her that it's getting late and she shouldn't try to tempt him. Patsy responds by saying that if anyone is too small, it's Sparrow. They continue to banter back and forth with Sparrow insisting that Patsy is crazy if she thinks he wants to be with her, and Patsy challenging Sparrow's masculinity by calling him "dou-dou" and "boo-boo." Sparrow then gets nervous and asks Patsy to leave, to which she responds by saying that she is not frightened and Sparrow is not as big and strong as he thinks he is.


One possible interpretation of the song could be a commentary on gender roles and power dynamics in relationships. Sparrow tries to assert his dominance over Patsy, but she refuses to be intimidated by him and challenges his masculinity instead. The lyrics also play on cultural stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, with Sparrow being expected to act tough and in control, while Patsy is expected to be demure and submissive. The song could be seen as a critique of these gender norms and an attempt to subvert them through humor and irony.
