LAZY MAN
By Rasika Dindial

Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk.

I tell you to clean to clean de yard and cut up de grass
I tell you to clean de yard...
I tell you to clean to clean de yard and cut up de grass
You say you could do it but you cyah hold a cutlass.

Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk.

Twice for de week you going with friends in de river
Twice for de week
Twice for de river you going with friends in de river
But I have to stay home an' wuk out mih liver.

Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk.

If I ask you to take me out you does refuse
If I ask you to take me out
If I ask you to take me out you does refuse
When I start to get on you always have an excuse.

Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk.

If I step out, I have to reach back before six
If I step out
If I step out, I have to reach back before six
If I only talk is plenty, plenty licks.

Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dey only want to sit down in de hammock and rock
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk
Dem man and dem so lazy dey doh want to wuk.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Rasika Dindial.

"Rasika Dindial born on the 8th October in the district of Caroni. Her father is the veteran classical singer, Basdeo' Lappo' Dindial and her brother the popular Jairam Dindial. Rasika, like all singers who grew up in homes dominated by Indian songs and music began her career quite early and over the years has grown to become the Queen or Rani of Chutney in Trinidad and by extension The World.

Rasika's name today is household when it comes to classical and chutney songs-no one can forget her mega hits lazyman, ratiya poosoor, goomai chalay and the monster hit Dr. Sampath." SOURCE

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
