WOMAN POLICE
By Spoiler
They shoulda have woman police in Trinidad
Bet your life, Spoiler would be more than glad
They shoulda have woman police in Trinidad
Bet your life, Spoiler would be more than glad
I only waiting 'til one keeping duty
I running right away and I kissing she
And when she snatch on to me, I wouldn't say a word
But I hugging up my police going down the road.
Chorus:
And all the time, I pulling 'way from she for she to hold me tight
The woman police must hold me tight
And I doing all that for spite
For she to hold me tight, tight, tight!
A fella told me they would be more bad
Than the male police we have in Trinidad
But I don't care, they can be bad like a cobra
Don't talk when you see I drink my liquor
And I butting from west to east
I walking right away and hug up my police
She can hold me 'round me neck and squeeze me 'til I dead
But I kissing from she waist right up to she head.
Chorus:
And all the time, I pulling 'way from she for she to hold me tight
The woman police must hold me tight
And I doing all that for spite
For she to hold me tight, tight, tight!
And when she carry me inside the charge room
I coupling up my police like a bridegroom
When the female sergeant ask me anything
Is a heap of "doudou darling" I answering
"Honey choonks, my love, sweet coquette"
I know by those names she would start to fret
But she can beat me, she can butt me, tear down my clothes
I ain't retreating, I advancing for my blows.
Chorus:
And all the time, I pulling 'way from she for she to hold me tight
The woman police must hold me tight
And I doing all that for spite
For she to hold me tight, tight, tight!
I'd be a real nuisance in the place, of course
If they really was to have woman police force
Give them tommy guns, give them hand-grenades
Bet your life, I ain't 'fraid of making the grade
Yes, I going through the battle zone
Just to hug up Lucinda, Polly and Joan
They can shoot down Spoiler, I might die no doubt
But with the print of a lipstick on top my mouth..
Chorus:
And that is why, I pulling 'way from she for she to hold me tight
The woman police must hold me tight
And I doing all that for spite
For she to hold me tight, tight, tight!

A Note From The Gull
Thank you, Spoiler. Well, the Mighty Spoiler definitely had a fixation with female police officers. This is one of two of his calypsos about them and his burning desire to court them despite the challenges, both physical and legal. The other calypso on the topic is "Police Women In Panama."
"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!
