Watch Yourself Mr Newspaperman

[Intro: Barrington Levy]
It's over two thousand years since I've been down here so long
I want to get out of this (Woah-oh)
You mister Hunter Man
You're hunting and hunting all over this land
You're hunting, you're hunting
Make sure you bathe in a di fountain (Woah-oh)

[Verse 1]
Brr, watch yourself, watch yourself
Cah one of these day, you are go drop off a the shelf
Watch yourself, watch yourself
Cah one of these day, you are go drop off a the shelf
'Cause every little thing, you run fi pen and paper
Every little thing, you run fi pen and paper

A so mi say, a mister publisher (A wеh mi say?)
You write about Peter and you write about Paul
You write about Chris and then you write about this
Write about Harry and you write about John

Hey, watch yourself, hey, watch yourself
Say, one of these day you are go drop off a the shelf
