Carlton Peeping at Me

Mighty Sparrow

"Murder! Murder!
Help, save me!" this girl start to cry
A man in the key hole peeping
Look ah see he eye
Well I ain't staying here no longer
I am going away
I got no privacy in here
Aye, aye, Carlton move from dey!

Carlton is a peeping Tom
(Carlton peeping at me!)
Where he get this habit from?
(Carlton peeping at me!)
Yes, I come inside to rest
Ah take off meh shoes and meh dress
But when ah peep through the jalousie
Who ah see - Carlton peeping at me!

Then she start to bawl out:
"Nеighbour this thing can't be true
I am feeling so embarrassеd
I don't know what to do
I regret the day I come
To live on Laventille Hill!"
All the time she quarreling
Carlton peeping still

Carlton is a peeping Tom
(Carlton peeping at me!)
Where he get this habit from?
(Carlton peeping at me!)
Oh I come inside to rest
Ah take off meh shoes and me dress
But when ah peep through the jalousie
Who ah see - Carlton peeping at me!

Look at this, oh...

Shame on you, Carlton!

This time if you see
How she running all over the room
Wrapped up in blanket
But she thin like a broom
And she brassiere got two holes in front
Like if a cockroach bite out a piece
She feel so shame that Carlton see
Now she turning beast

(Murder!)

Carlton is a peeping Tom
(Carlton peeping at me!)
Yes, where he get this habit from?
(Carlton peeping at me!)
I come inside to rest
Ah take off meh shoes and me dress
But when ah look through the jalousie
Who ah see - Carlton peeping at me!

Shame on you Carlton, shame on you!

Well I didn't know that this woman
Had two bad john son
Always beating people with iron
And walking with gun
Well, when they come they got the news
They didn't care whether true or lie
Soap water with salt and pepper
And they throw it in Carlton eye

Next time when you want to peep
Stop peeping at she, that's meh mother
Rub your eye and go to sleep
Stop peeping at she
Carlton, next time you press luck
It's meh bull pistle passing on your back
And if you must peep at somebody
Go home and peep at your own mammy!
