THE IRON MAN
By Zandolie

Well the police arrest me for mih own material, that shouldn't be
Two women police arrested Zando way up in Mayaro
I decided to make an invention so I pack up mih house with iron
The news went around that that was the case
You know they come with a warrant searching mih place... look the hour!

Chorus:
Five o' clock in the morning, two women police came searching
And before I could put on mih clothes, all mih iron exposed!

Well is now I in misery, you know they started questioning me
Where you get this amount ah iron, son? Please answer the question
I say, I didn't know it was against the law
So they told me that explanation too poor
Then they hold me and they throw me in the Maria
And carry me to the female Commissioner...Uhumm

Chorus:
It was five o' clock in the morning, two women police came searching
And before I could put on mih clothes, all mih iron exposed!

As soon as they take me out from the Maria, I bounce up the Commissioner
When she see me, she turn she face, but this time, iron all round mih waist
And this was her statement to make, is the most I've seen in this colony
So we go charge him for unlawful possession
Oh mih lord, no bail for the iron man!...I now in trouble!

Chorus:
Five o' clock in the morning, two women police came searching
And before I could put on mih clothes, all mih iron exposed!

Well, this was bacchanal, the following day was mih trial
If you see women inside the place, and is a woman magistrate who try mih case
But after the police give evidence, she call upon me for my defence
But she say before she come to a conclusion
I have to come home in your house to inspect this iron...hear whey happen

She came by me with a jitney to examine the iron personally
But when she left the house, I was happy
She take all the iron and set me free.
