Poor Chubby

Lee “Scratch” Perry

[Verse 1]
When I lost a job just the other day
I'm gon' lose this one if I don't get a recent pay
Some folks say I'm a irresponsible bloke

[Chorus]
And therefore everybody's up there talking 'bout me (Now, lord)
Old town folks are talking 'bout poor chubby

[Verse 2]
Got one life and I'm goin' to live it
Once we love and I'm goin' to give it
Some folks say I'm a low down dirty train

[Chorus]
And therefore everybody's up there talking about me (Now)
Old town folks are talking 'bout poor chubby

[Verse 2]
Found myself in jail just di other day
Not a single friend would try to get me bailed
This made me smile as I sing this here song (It goes, you know)

[Chorus]
Everybody's up there talking 'bout me (Hell no)
Old town folks are talking 'bout poor chubby

[Bridge]
Du-du-du, better leave me alone
Du-du-du
Du-bi-du-du-du

[Chorus]
Everybody's up there talking about me (Now, lord)
Old town folks are talking about poor chubby
