Stereotypes

I’m a fullblooded
West Indian stereotype
See me straw hat?
Watch it good
I’m a fullblooded
West Indian stereotype
You ask
if I got riddum
in me blood
You going ask!
Man just beat de drum
and don’t forget
to pour di rum
I’m a fullblooded
West Indian stereotype
You say
I suppose you can show
us the limbo, can’t you?
How you know!
How you know!
You sure
you don’t want me
sing you a calypso too
How about that?
I’m a fullblooded
West Indian stereotype
You call me
happy-go-lucky
Yes that’s me
dressing fancy
and chasing women
if you think ah lie
bring yuh sister
I’m a fullblooded
West Indian stereotype
You wonder
where do you people get such riddum
could it be the sunshine
My goodness
Just listen to that steelband
Isn’t here one thing
you forgot to ask
go on man ask ask
This native will answer
anything
How about cricket?
I suppose you’re good at it?
Hear this man
good at it!
Put de willow
in me hand
and watch me stripe
de boundary
Yes I’m a fullblooded
West Indian stereotype
that’s why I
graduated from Oxford
University
with a degree
in anthropology
