Harry, Elaine & Mama

[Verse 1]
Elaine and Harry always in misery
She say that Harry eating too much from she
So she gone to she mama explaining how Harry’s a pest
She say "ah gettin' thin mammy, in the night ah can't get a rest"

"Well, well, well, I never hear more
Girl what you running from is what I am dying for
My food does be wasting in the house every night
And your sleepy-head father
Wouldn’t get up and take a little bite"

[Verse 2]
"Sometimes at night, believe me, I'm in a doze
Mom, this man does only bе pulling at meh clothes
Wake up! Gеt up! Wake up! And the son-of-a-gun is so crude
In the middle of the night Harry only begging for food"

"Well, well, well, girl I envy you
I wish that your daddy will do what Harry does do
I would be happy to feed him, whether he begs me or not
And if ah sleeping, he could even put he head in the pot

[Verse 3]
If your father was a little bit like Harry
No woman in the world will be happier than your mammy
But I don't know what to do, I am suffering day and night
I does have to collar your father and shake up he appetite

So you see my dear, that’s how men should be
I will see that Harry remains in this family
Look, he could eat by your sister, or your tantie Gertrude
Otherwise, I mehself will be glad to give Harry food"

[Verse 4]
"Ma, the man is a beast, he does eat 'bout ten times a night
And he still wants more!" The mother said "that's alright"
"But if meh stove out of order, the criminal man is so hard
He does be happy to light the wood fire in meh backyard"

"No, no, no, darling, not this one
Is now I realise why you and this criminal have to done
If that's the behaviour of that stinken man
Let he look for Hinds, he got to take himself in hand!"
