Dear Boopsie
Long time no see
I wish you were here right here with me
Boopsie baby I hope you're fine
I just have to write you these few lines
Remember all the fun we had
Now we're apart I feel so sad
I'm so frustrated and confused
And my baby need a new pair of shoes
I need a little cash
Cause the baby have a rash
I need every dollar
Cause the baby just a holla
Boopsie Boopsie
Since you've been gone I've forgotten the taste of wine
And I've no chalice food for a long long time
Oh Boopsie life is really hard
I wish I was living somewhere abroad
But the time we down at the embassy
Please Boopsie can you find for me
My dear Boopsie now that you're awake
I really miss you especially on payday smile
My birthday will be coming soon
It will be so nice to get a bouquet from you
Remember
She and I used to talk
Her boyfriend just came from New York
With plenty clothes and jewelry
Now everyday she a pop nuff style pon me
My sister's wedding is drawing near
And I don't have a single thing to wear
Oh Boopsie
I haven't told you everything yet
Send me your number I'll phone you call late
My dear Boopsie
So long for now
I wish you were here with me somehow
Please hoping I'll hear from you
A postal order or a cheque will do
Dear Boopsie
Stay sweet for me
Yours truly lovey dovey
Ps Boopsie baby Ps
Ps Boopsie baby Ps
Can I get some bangles bandanas
Ball rings and earrings
Gold chains and silver chains
Can I get some suede shoes and rocks




Can I have match to match
I thank you very much
