The Budget Song 2015
(Not a Blade of Grass Rhythm)
We are a divided people
When it comes to voting
But we all united
When the pressure sharing
Well, the economy tanking
The new government talking
But not even drawsy sellin’
The people cryin’
But nobody listenin’
Is all awhee in dis boat
Even the comrade goat
Chorus
When the budget day
dawning
Comrade Jardan singin’
Not one cash grant
No mo’ duty free
We ent care ‘bout
sugar
We will eat we rice
While we Gaze
wistfully
at the fallin gold
price
The finance minister
Say ….we have no money
“PPP tek all an’ lef nuttin’”
Jagdeo say he mus be stupid
GRA earning plenty
So Jordan got dem lookin’
He lookin’ at the hotel
He lookin’ in the bank
Under the matrass
On top the press
He even lookin’
Under Jennifer dress
But he cayn find the money
So he sarchin barrel
Dat come from farrin’
Chorus
When the budget day
dawning
Comrade Jardan singin’
Not one cash grant
No mo’ duty free
We ent care ‘bout
sugar
We will eat we rice
While we Gaze
wistfully
at the fallin gold
price
The Comrade singin’
We ent sellin nuttin
Not a grain of rice
Not an ounce of gold
None o’ we bauxite ore
Not even a cathedral whore
Chorus
When the budget day
dawning
Comrade Jardan singin’
Not one cash grant
No mo’ duty free
We ent care ‘bout
sugar
We will eat we rice
While we Gaze
wistfully
at the fallin gold
price
But we pride is everything
That we need to have
Higher duty on old cyar
No more hiding stuff in barrel
We cutting out the bribery
To the middle man
If yuh have a plan
See the minister of business
Mek sure yuh walk
Wid a farrin passport
To show the man
Chorus
When the budget day
dawning
Comrade Jardan singin’
Not one cash grant
No mo’ duty free
We ent care ‘bout
sugar
We will eat we rice
While we Gaze
wistfully
at the fallin gold
price
To the folks who back we
With all dat flag money
Come back home comrades
Help we eat this rice flour
Help we tek dis pressure
Doan worry ‘bout no robbery
Doan worry ‘bout no violence
Jus’ come wave yuh flag
In regions one to ten
Chorus
When the budget day
dawning
Comrade Jardan singin’
Not one cash grant
No mo’ duty free
We ent care ‘bout
sugar
We will eat we rice
While we Gaze
wistfully
at the fallin gold
price
