Verse 1: imagine, yuh dress up inna di latest wear

Out on yuh versace 'cause a tight pants deh wear

Yuh come out yuh hear a rasta man seh bun down a queer

Yuh feel like yuh waan disappear

Imagine big dance a keep down inna di square

Woman inna moschino and di tallest hair

She come out she hear a rasta man seh jah jah bun a false hair

She ask har self if she hard ears

Imagine yuh come from sav-la-mar

See a rasta man tired yuh know seh him a walk from far

Yuh nuh si seh rasta bun up all car

Inna him turban and him robe and him don't got no cess

Him come out him hear bald head seh bun dung a dress

Just inna weh day a rasta crash up pon a hill

Him go a hospital and doctor take care a him

Dem give him a prescription and him go deh fi a fill

The pharmacist sey, "sir, bun dung a pill"

Just inna weh day inna pablo's mi walk

Di rata dem buy dung to curtain cloth

Him come out, some little youth naah tek no talk

Seh bun dung a tie head and laugh





Chorus

Nuff a bun foreign dem a frequent flyer

Nuff a dem a fight and die fi a dollar

Well, from yuh bun di dragon den yuh mussn' go a japan

And if yuh bun di eagle den nuh go uncle sam

Weh yuh a do wid di queen money inna yuh hand
