Child Father

Mighty Sparrow

[Verse 1]
Child father, well they mamaguying meh
Child father well ah go half kill somebody
Them wahbeen women in town, they making me hop
But unless you lick them down this nonsense won't stop

[Chorus]
They does run about
With Tom, Dick and Harry
And when they dead out
Lord they looking for me (for me)
Hear them telling Bim and Bam
How Sparrow is de man
Couple days dey telling me
They making a baby

[Verse 2]
Look your daddy, girl don't point at me
Call your daddy child and tell him you hungry
So much ready made children ah getting so 'fraid
Ah don't know who is meh friend or meh enemy

[Chorus]
They does run about
With Tom, Dick and Harry
And when they dead out
Well they looking for me, stupidly (for me)
Hear them telling Sil and Sam
How Sparrow is de man
Then couple days dey telling me
(They making a baby)

That so, man!

[Verse 3]
One Sunday I had a Christening party
Rum and whisky and I invite everybody
The godfather of the child turn and said to me
Whenever the baby smile it resemble he

[Chorus]
They does run about
With Tom, Dick and Harry
And when they dead out
Well they looking for me (for me)
Hear them telling Bim and Bam
How Sparrow is de man
Then couple days dey telling me
They making a baby

[Verse 4]
Some people does glad to have children
Plenty trouble they does go through to get them
But if you come down by me children in a rage
They so damn ugly ah go open ah orphanage

[Chorus]
Their mother does run about
With Tom, Dick and Harry
And when they dead out
Well they looking for me (for me)
Hear them telling Sil and Sam
How Sparrow is de man
Then couple days dey telling me
(They making a baby)
