Lyrics
As I was walking down the street one day
I met a pretty lady she was going my way
I said Lady would you walk along with me
I'll show you sights of interest
This is my country
Like the water tower and the Queen's Staircase
And maybe later we can go to my place
She was lookin pretty and smilin with me
And I think my line is beguiling - she
No time flat I take she by the hand
Yes cuz I'm a born Bahamian
But I move too fast
This I was wrong to do
Now I'm gonna know she's Bahamian too
Just for holding she hand
To my surprise
Her shoe heel caught me right between the eyes
One back-hand slap to the side of the face
Spitting out my teeth all over the place
Some solid blows up against my head
When the ambulance come they thought I was dead
Once was enough
Take advice from me
When you looking for woman choose carefully
Cuz Bahamian girls are nice they've got a whole lotta class
Slip up like I did and ya boongie is grass
