WHAT SWEET IN GOAT MOUTH
Performed by Penguin (1983)

Dey send me down, like prophets of old
To cool dis town, keep it more control
Me eh get no vision and ting
Neither no big message to bring
All dey tell me in hand, as a kaisonian
Go and sing dese songs through the land.

Chorus:
Keep singing everyday, remember Mammy say
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam
What keep you flying high, same ting does make you cry
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam
Little bit of treasure, little bit of pleasure
So you take, and you take, and you take, and you take
Please say, What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam.

Forget who vex, and dem school girls tell
That books and sex doesn’t mix too well
Tell the youth who gone off on dope
That they are the future and hope
Tell them if dey too tight
Nothing wouldn’t go right
Is dem and the whole country blight.

Chorus:
And keep singing everyday, remember Mammy say
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam
What keep you flying high, same ting does make you cry
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam
Little bit of treasure, little bit of pleasure,
So you take, and you take, and you take, and you take
Please say, What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam

Dey tell me watch at the new bourgeois
Drinking scotch, travelling afar
Video and stereo like peas
Air-conditioned car, dey ‘fraid breeze
But not a plantation, so next generation
Could truly say this is my land.

Chorus:
So keep singing everyday, remember Mammy say,
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam
What keep you flying high, same ting does make you cry
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam
Little bit of treasure, little bit of pleasure
So you take, and you take, and you take, and you take
Please say, What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam.

And if you check, you will see is true
The ill effects of the wrongs men do
All who make women catch dey tail
All who lie and send men to jail
All who rob dey neighbour
All who rape dey daughter
Sing de chorus loud, let dem hear!

Chorus:
Keep singing everyday, remember Mammy say
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam
What keep you flying high, same ting does make you cry
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam
Little bit of treasure, little bit of pleasure
So you take, and you take, and you take, and you take
Please say, What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam.
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam.
What sweet in goat mouth does sour in he bambam.
