A Little Fun Is Good

When down San Fernando
 See my cousin on Coffee Street
 I said “hey what’s up cousin
 Been a long time we haven’t meet

“Man you change your number
 tell me How have you been?
 The last time I saw you
 Was at rianna and Mackie wedding

 Then we take a bus ride
 Going to maracas beach
 Drink out a six pack
 By the time we reach

 Under a coconut tree
 We watching girls passing by
 try to talk to one
 She said “don’t even try

 We know Sometimes 
 A little communication is good
 Time and distance
 Can be misunderstood

 Went to see my brother
 Down penal at powergen
 Hey”long time no see brother”
How is the wife and children?

 Soon after lunch
 We went to shoot some pool
 Then hang out in the gallery
 Until the kids come from school

 Time to leave now
 Walking out of the gate
 My sister in law gives me some food
 To take home in a plate

 We know Sometimes 
 You got to go see your family
 Because blood is thicker than water
 We all are leaves from the same tree

 Me and my brothers
 We all get in Rogers car
 and Visit the families
 From Indian trail to marabella

 And in the evening 
 We gone to lime in la romaine
 with bobby ,teddy and daughter
 Next week we plan to do it again

 We know sometimes 
 A little fun is good
 Because time and distance
 Between families can be misunderstood

 Sunday morning in 2nd street
 Playing cricket and football
 Shirley cooking lunch 
 and Send riad to give us a call

 Curry duck and bush up shut
 Black label rum and cold beers
 Eating drinking and laughing
 Sugar boy” says let make a cheer

 We know Sometimes 
 Having a good time is good
 This is what we need
 Life can be misunderstood
