Mr. Herbert

Mighty Sparrow

Every night is the same old thing
Ah vex 'til ah getting mad
I ain't vex because of what's happening
But I find they talking too hard
Yes, twelve o'clock in the night
Like if they doing this thing for spite
Ah can't see what's happening at all
But every night this woman does bawl

Oh oh oh, gosh Mr. Herbert
(Take your time Mr. Herbert)
Oh not so hard Mr. Herbert, oh gosh
(It nice Mr. Herbert)

Take for instance, well last week Saturday night
Ah come from a dance
Me and meh girlfriend pass through the back way
Easily we gonе to romance
Well between three and half-past four
Evеrybody sleeping I was sure
Well that night I got so upset
The women next door ain't stop bawling yet

Oh oh oh, take it easy Mr. Herbert
(Take it light Mr. Herbert)
Yes, take it cool Mr. Herbert
Oh that's enough Mr. Herbert

Five o'clock when the cock start to crow
It's time to get up for work
Believe me pardner ah sleepy for so
And ah really tired, no joke
But ah jump right out of a doze
And ah start to put on meh clothes
And before ah walk out the place
I can hear the women slap up Herbert's face

Don't do that Mr. Herbert
(Shame on you Mr. Herbert)
(Raise up your head Mr. Herbert)
You tickling me Mr. Herbert

It happen so Herbert had to move
From the place his time was up
So no more trouble at all in the place
And all the bacchanal stop
Then suddenly something happen
Ah find myself with meh eye open
Well is now ah feeling bad
How you don't know is a nightmare the Sparrow had

Oh oh oh, gosh Mr. Herbert
(Take your time Mr. Herbert)
Oh not so hard Mr. Herbert, oh gosh
(It nice Mr. Herbert)

Shame on you, Herbert!
