Lyrics:
The government of every country
Should pay a criminal a big salary
And when they commit a crime,
The law shouldn't give them any long time
A police should be glad when one twist a jaw
Lock a neck, buss a face, or break open a store
They should be merry when somebody violate the law
Because that is what the government is paying them for.
Chorus:
For if somebody don't buss somebody face
How the police man going to make a case?
And if somebody don't dig out somebody eye
The magistrate wouldn't have nobody to try
And if somebody don't kill somebody dead
All the judges got to beg their bread
So when somebody cut off somebody head
Instead of hanging, they should pay them money instead!
A thief give the whole force a promotion
From a police to a Commissioner
And is the Commissioner that living in the big mansion
And the man who promote him down Carrera
And if somebody don't crack somebody skull plate
We wouldn't have no jail, courthouse or magistrate
Still, when a man cut open somebody belly
Is custody and the cat o' nine tails for he.
Chorus:
And if somebody don't buss somebody face
How the police man going to make a case?
And if somebody don't dig out somebody eye
The magistrate wouldn't have nobody to try
And if somebody don't kill somebody dead
All the judges got to beg their bread
So when somebody cut off somebody head
Instead of hanging, they should pay them money instead!
If a man don't lick out a woman teeth
Or she don't part he face with a poui
Or saw off one of he hand with a saw
What the government going to pay men of the law for?
Because you kick me and I break your ankle
Men of the law becoming honourable
And still when you do them things
They send you straight in jail
And from the time they hold you, is without no bail
Chorus:
And if somebody don't buss somebody face
How the police man going to make a case?
And if somebody don't dig out somebody eye
The magistrate wouldn't have nobody to try
And if somebody don't kill somebody dead
All the judges got to beg their bread
So when somebody cut off somebody head
Instead of hanging, they should pay them money instead!
Don't doubt me, is true, on the criminal
Men of the law becoming social
And living of high society
And associating with big company
A lawyer should kiss a criminal anyway
For is off of them they making their money everyday
You know this calypso is true, some of them may vex
But the fall of one is rising of the next.
Chorus:
For if somebody don't buss somebody face
How the police man going to get a case?
And if somebody don't dig out somebody eye
The magistrate wouldn't have nobody to try
And if somebody don't kill somebody dead
All the judges got to beg their bread
So when a man kill, instead of swinging he head
They should make him Governor General instead!

This is probably one of the best calypso lyrics ever written. It's a pity Commander only got to record two songs in his life. "Hear this calypso, it's true, some of them may vex, but the fall of one is rising of the next"
@taylordansmith
But if ah man cut open somebody body, it's custody and di cat ah 9 tail for he! 🤘🏼

@joehiggs100
Many thanks, I'd not heard of this calypsonian before, great stuff.
@shjakes
Kaiso Kaiso! Wouldn't it be nice if some skilled Kaisonian today could go back to this retro style and create kaiso with wit, humor, melody and this lively tempo.
@taylordansmith
I wish to! I know this song verbatim and plenty more from this era!
@sandotrinistories.7820
Good one Glenroy. And thanks.
The privatization of the penal system all over the world means that it is very lucrative to keep a high crime rate going. The super rich invest heavily in prisons and the downstream industries related to prisons.
So as Commander explains, crime pays a generous dividend to the wealthy.
@cvstegeman
This song is probably the best.
@pleasetellmethatyouloveme6922
this is the catchiest anti-police song I've heard since Mass Grave's "RCMPig"
@andrewsimmons82
