Border Patrol - Eek-A-Mouse

It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive

Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile

Going to Miami via Vancouver coming from Jamaica

I was on di outside, for some reason, they won’t let me enter

I went to the border, they say my passport was not in order

Seven of us got back on the bus, felt like a loser

We rent some rooms, we got some food, am I a dreamer

I went to some club, they were playing reggae-rock and blues-a

I know I’m a winner, but this time they say I’m a loser

But, I said, «Hey»;

But, I said, «Hey»

It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive

Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile

The next day I came back to the embassy

I was an early birdie at eight-thirty

Set the mouse free, let him enter

Don’t forget, immigrants build this country

Out of all the people me they decided to pull over

«Hey, sir, come this way, you look like somebody we a look for»

Searching my bag, take my shoe, ran it through the computer

Wu-pem-pay

Wu-pem-pem-pem-pem-pem-pay-ow (Who feels it, knows it)

Wu-pem-pay

Wu-pem-pem-pem-pem-pem-pay-ow (I'm about to expose it)

It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive

Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile

Cock-a-doodle-doo, doodle-doo, I am no rooster

Stop spinning me around like I’m some roller coaster

You make it seems, I’m the most wanted

Take me out of this room, it’s so scary and haunted

Jamaica, Jamaica, I am a teacher

I’m a singer, I’m an actor, born entertainer

You taken away my passport and my visa

Sending me way back to Jamaica

It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive

Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95

It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive

Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile

I was on my way to California coming from Tijuana

I was there with a Mexican who was a Pancho Villa

He said to me, «Do you want burrito, taco or salsa?»

I said, I’ve got to go, I’ve got to go to California

Immigration officer, let me pass the border

You know I’ve got to do a show in Los Angeles, California

It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive

Trying harder, harder to get across the border, to hit the I-95

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile

Going to Miami via Vancouver coming from Jamaica

I was on di outside, for some reason, they won’t let me enter

I went to the border, they say my passport was not in order

Seven of us got back on the bus, felt like a loser

We got some food and we got some rooms in Vancouver

We went to some club they were playing reggae-rock and blues-a

I’m kind-a confused-a

I guess I was winner but this time they say I’m the loser

Kind-a confused-a, what I said

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile (Jah know)

I’ll walk, I’ll talk, but I not crawl on my belly like a reptile

It’s getting harder, harder to get across the border, ain’t no jive
