[Verse 1]
Lord Melody
The biggest fowl thief in this country
Lord Melody
The biggest fowl thief in this country
What is wrong with this Boo Boo man
He can't control he mouth and he hand
Every day he eating chicken
And everybody chicken missing

[Chorus]
Cokie-oh-ko
Cokie-oh-ko
Lord Melody
A chicken go crow down in you belly

[Verse 2]
From Gasparee
San Fernando to Siparee

Could tell you 'bout Lord Melody
When it come to turkey and duck
Ordinary fowl or game cock
I don't think Melo have he match
He does thief them before they hatch

[Chorus]
Cokie-oh-ko
Cokie-oh-ko
Lord Mеlody
A chicken go crow down in you belly

[Verse 3]
The poultry farm
Sеt up two extra burglar alarm
Watchman on guard
Silent as a graveyard
The watch man fall asleep about dawn
When he wake up two thousand chicken gone
Two days after that hear the big alarm
Melo buy a brand new station wagon

Way you talking!

Cokie-oh-ko
Cokie-oh-ko
(Lord Melody)
(A chicken go crow down in you belly)

[Verse 4]
Me neighbour Lyn
Had to run from Diego Martin
Melo move down
She and she family move to town
She went to see Inspector Burrough
To send a detective to watch Melo
He always hanging round she fowl roost
Like he like more chicken than a mongoose

[Chorus]
Cokie-oh-ko
Cokie-oh-ko
(Lord Melody)
(A chicken go crow down in you belly)
