Leggo Meh Stick - Mighty Sparrow

J’ouvert morning I was beating pan

When I bounced up a chick that I knew before

Why, meh pan sound so sweet, she want to learn to beat

So she scrambled meh stick with a

flick she so quick and bold, oh gorm!

Rosita, leggo meh stick

Girl ah have to beat pan, leggo quick

On Carnival Day dis is not de way

If you really want to play come Ash Wednesday!

Listen Rosie, girl in any case

This is not de right time or de proper place

So go an' jump up, and please don’t interrupt

Everybody looking it is embarrassing, leggo, oh gosh

Rosita, leggo meh stick

J’y en a hard to beat pan, leggo quick

On Carnival Day dis is not de way

If you really want to play come Ash Wednesday!

Now de steelband goin' be moving soon

Going down Charlotte Street with a lovely tune

But ah just cyah function with meh two stick in your hand

At de end of de day you will get it when I done play, oh gosh

Rosita, leggo meh stick

Girl ah have to beat pan, leggo quick

On Carnival Day dis is not de way

If you really want to play come Ash Wednesday!

Look meh trouble on this J’ouvert morn'

Though I beg and beseech, she still holding on

Squeezing tighter, like of long time pan beater

Though she did make no row she insist she must get it now, somehow

Rosita, leggo meh stick

Girl ah have to beat pan, leggo quick

On Carnival Day dis is not de way

If you really want to play come Ash Wednesday!
