The Queen's Canary - Mighty Sparrow

Well they pass out the law to the people

Keep the town as clean as a whistle

The governor pass out the law to the people

Keep the town as clean as a whistle

No messing about in the place

Keep your yard as clean as your face

Everyone know the penalty

Untidyness is six months in custody

Up came Mr. Moses

In his belly was a bunch of roses

So he went and stoop down right on the highway…

And relieved himself of the bouquet

But at the same time a police was coming

He didn’t see what Moses was doing

But he kept walking up slowly

Seeing if the place was tidy

This time Moses start to tremble

As soon as he saw the constable

Before the policeman knew what was wrong

Moses take off he hat and cover it down

Up came the Officer

And ask him what is the matter

He say «The Queen’s canary fly away…

But ah have it covered down dey»

The policeman fly in a rage

And ask him «Why don’t you get a cage?»

He said «I couldn’t leave the birdie so

I am afraid it would fly and go

If you could keep it cover for me

I would get a cage and come back in a hurry»

The stupid policeman accepted that

Stooped down in the road and holding the hat

Up came the Inspector

And ask him what is the matter

He said «The Queen’s canary fly away…

But ah have it covered down dey»

The Inspector was very, very greedy

So he jump out he car in a hurry

Because if a man catch the Queen’s canary

His reward is supposed to be heavy

Well without any delay

Sent the policeman two blocks away

Of all the dirty tricks upon the shelf

He wanted the reward money for himself

So he raise the hat very slowly

Feeling for the Queen’s canary

But when he snatch, he hold something soft instead…

He said «I broke every bone in its body, hahaha

Which means the nasty canary is dead»
