Ole Times
Ah want to tell the world 'bout we In fact 'bout all de boys an' dem, 'bout liming by de lampost-beating pan Busting ole talk an watching woman. How we used to pappyshow police An play respectable when we see priest. Boy dat concrete eh used to play hard Pants bottom used to grate way real bad. An dem spitting competition - man dat was it
Racing lead pencil in drain -penny profit. You used to be de best sweetman in town Never mind we mamaguy you - tambrand hound. 'member how we used to peep shango? Maco wabine and tief mango? How 'bout drinking rum without chaser, An crashing wedding - don't talk 'bout theater.
Going to college - boy dat was big ting, You eh learn much - improve your skeffing. Dem starch drill pants used to cut me leg We used to mop snowball but never beg. De tings we used to do - ah could write a book But you won't buy -just tief a look. So these thoughts I leave to you as man, Long time story - nothing better than.
