lyrics:
Sly Mongoose
Oh your name gone abroad
Sly Mongoose
Oh your name gone abroad

Mongoose come inna the old man’s kitchen
Bring out one of his big, fat chickens
Put it inna his vest coat pocket
Sly Mongoose

Sly Mongoose
Oh you don’t know your name
Sly Mongoose
Oh you ain’t got no shame

Mongoose say he love rice and pumpkin
Bedwood say he like cornmeal dumpling
Mongoose say no know good good something
Sly Mongoose …

You no hear what the old man say
You know fe tie no donkey down there …

The jackass a–jump and bray
Let him bray, let him bray…

Sly Mongoose
Oh your name’s gone abroad

Mongoose come inna the old man’s kitchen
Pick up one of his fi nest chickens
Put it inside his vest coat pocket
Sly Mongoose
