Intro:
Hey! Gringo! Hand me my pistolero, and while your at it, get me my sombrero
As warrior this means war
Some bwoy a violate, straighten dem out Gargamel
It cannot be staright on pen and paper, it gots to be major
Chorus:
This year a mi and oonu mi and oonu bongo cart
This year a mi and oonu mi and oonu bongo cart
This year a mi and oonu mi and oonu bongo cart
Well a mi and oonu mi and oonu bongo cart
Alright then, oonu tink dem a get wey, oonu tink we hear di half
A mi and oonu mi and oonu bongo cart
Verse 1:
Hey! Pon whole heap a man how yuh go tink mi soft
Set dem straight who dem a talk who dem a try extort
Who rememba di days when life less bodyguard put out pon cart
Now on life dem a deal we, try man a deal we, who a mek we rot
Man go page dem dem a move swiftly bwoy a use a prison craft

Chorus:

Mi and oonu mi and oonu bongo cart
Repeat Verse 1 & Chorus until emd
